Mahmudullah Riyad: The last of Bangladesh’s ‘Big Five’ calls it a day

Former West Indies fast bowler Corey Collymore has been appointed Bangladesh cricket team’s interim bowling coach for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand.
Collymore joined as High Permormance's pace bowling coach in June and has now been promoted to work with the national team. Meanwhile, HP head coach David Hemp was appointed as the batting coach.
The reshuffling was prompted by Jamie Siddons returning to Australia before the end of his contract with the High Performance team.
Siddons, who previously held the position of batting coach for the national team, was reassigned to the role of batting coach for Bangladesh 'A' when Chandika Hathurusingha took over as head coach.
Jalal Yunus, Chairman of the BCB Cricket Operations Committee, indicated that Siddons might return to the High Performance team next year.
Tigers’ former bowling coach Allan Donald, Rangana Herath and analyst Shrinivas Chandrasekaran were not interested in renewing their contract after the World Cup.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) did not extend the contract with fielding coach Shane McDermott.
