Steve Rhodes has returned to Bangladesh as a consultant for the Comilla Victorians, two and a half years after being fired as Bangladesh's head coach following a disappointing showing at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
However, the English coach did not want to reignite the debate over his dismissal and how BCB reacted to his return to the country.
"I don't really want to drag into any conversation about BCB or anything. I don't think that would be fair. That's history," Rhodes said.
"People's departure from any job or any post people has opinions but I don't really want to get too involved in that. All I can say is how pleased I am to be back with the public in Bangladesh," he added.
According to Rhodes, Bangladesh performed admirably in the 2019 WC, excluding the Pakistan encounter. If one or two results had gone their way, he believes the situation would have been different.
"If you look back at the games maybe apart from the Pakistan game we played really well in all the games. Even in defeat against India and England, we put up a good show. It wasn't an annihilation of Bangladesh. We played some really good cricket and mixed in between the World Cup we actually had some good wins and we pushed New Zealand in the World Cup. I don't think it was as bad as people probably think," Rhodes further said.
