The president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board has revealed that the next coach of Bangladesh has been signed. Indeed, according to the outspoken Papon, who never minces his words, the board will reveal the name of the coach on the first week of April.

Currently, Courtney Walsh has been bestowed with the honour of coaching the Bangladesh team in an interim role. The West Indian legend is the regular bowling coach of the country, but has taken over the reins of head coach for the Nidahas trophy.

Papon’s words, however, mean that Walsh might not be given the role on a full-time basis and that the new coach is popular figure, something which Hathurusingha wasn’t when he arrived to coach the Tigers.

“We have finalised our head coach. He is expected to join the Bangladesh team by the first week of April. I am not going to reveal the name right now but I can say he is a well-known figure, not someone unknown like Hathurusingha,” Papon revealed.
