Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) appointed former Australian cricketer Stuart Law as the head coach and former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer as the batting coach for the Under-19 team.
BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon revealed the appointment of the coaches during a press conference on Thursday.
"Stuart Law and Wasim Zafar are included in the coaching panel of the under-19 team. We appointed these two. Stuart Law as the head coach and Wasim Zafar as the batting coach. We can use him in different places as well,” Papon said.
Law had previously worked as the Tigers' head coach back in 2011-12 and had led Bangladesh in the final of the Asia Cup. However, he left his job after nine months to spend time with his family.
Jaffer, meanwhile, also has the experience of working in Bangladesh as the batting coach of the High-Performance Unit in 2019.
The right-handed opener played 31 Tests for India and struck three hundred and eleven fifties at an average of 34.10 before announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket in 2020.
