Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) shortlisted Ireland’s head coach Heinrich Malan as one of the four candidates for the vacant head coach position of the High Performance Unit.

The previous coach Hemp joined the men’s national team as the batting coach which created the void. He had previously served as the head coach of the HP Unit since May 2023.

According to Cricbuzz, the board has contacted the Irish coach and he did not rule him out of the position.

As per sources, BCB is also considering three other names- Gavan Twining (Australia) Nathan Hauritz (Australia) and Paul Adams (South Africa).

Malan will guide Ireland's national cricket team in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, If he is selected for the new role he is expected to join the HP unit following the World Cup scheduled in the USA and West Indies from June.
