Bangladesh newly appointed pace bowling coach Charl Langeveldt believes his stint with Afghanistan will help him to understand his charges better in the coming days.
Langeveldt replaced former West Indian great Courtney Walsh as his contract was not renewed after the World Cup.
The former South African bowling coach worked as the Afghanistan before signing the contract with BCB and joined the national team’s conditioning camp along with compatriot Russell Domingo on Wednesday.
Langeveldt said that he is excited to be back in the subcontinent and it will be easy as there will be other South African in the dressing room as apart from Domingo he will have Neil Mckenzie and Ryan Cook as companion in the form of batting and fielding coach respectively.
‘’It makes a lot easier. Of course I have worked with Russel and he is guy with good people skill. I thought it was excellent coming to the sub continent and having Russell with me and McKenzie and Ryan Cook,’’ Langeveldt told reporters before adding he is well aware that in a spin dominated attack he have got job in hand of producing fast bowlers especially who can be effective in overseas condition.
‘’That’s a challenge when I coached Afghnaistan as well that’s a challenge there[ coaching a spin dominated unit],’’ said Langeveldt.
‘’If you can rectify that and if you can struck with the new ball I think you can be lucky for the spinners and you will compete a lot more in terms of Test cricket. I think it can be small thing and technical thing if you look at Fizz. He is the type of guy who can swing the ball into the left-hander. So that’s a technical thing and as well as tactical. New ball is important for one-day cricket and even in Test cricket. The challenge for me is to find seamers who can bowl outside Bangladesh. They can bowl at good distance in South Africa and Australia. If you look at India now they have got three seamers and they can win games at South Africa and Australia. We have to find seamers somehow so when we go to those conditions abroad we can compete,’’ he said.
