Former Bangladesh pace bowling coach Courtney Walsh feels that Tigers will reap benefits if Bangladesh Cricket Board tries to opt for his compatriot Ottis Gibson.
BCB decided not to renew the contract of Walsh after the debacle of World Cup that ended after the 2019 World Cup following the axing of head coach Steve Rhodes.
Bangladesh changed two pace bowling coach since the departure of Walsh as Charl Langeveldt moved out from Bangladesh's coaching set-up to take up a role with South Africa.
The move follows a request from Cricket South Africa to Bangladesh Cricket Board and following the unexpected departure of Charl, BCB opted to appoint Walsh’s compatriot Ottis Gibson as the new bowling coach of Tigers.
Walsh believes that former South African head coach Ottis is likely to do a good job with the pacers but also added that the board needs to be supportive with him.
‘’Ottis is a very good coach and if he gets his request that can only help the players to get better but there has to be a level of trust in the coach,’’ said Walsh.
‘’The guys I work with were eager to learn and would accept and try changes,’’ he added.
