In what seems like a great news for the Bangladesh cricket
team, the Tigers may finally have a coach for themselves. After playing the
tri-nation series with Khaled Mahmud Sujon as the stand-in coach, the
Bangladesh Cricket Board have decided to drop him as the coach and has made him
the team manager for the tournament instead.
In his place, Courtney Walsh will act as the head coach of
the Bangladesh cricket team. In a breaking update from Jamuna TV, this has been
revealed. The former West Indian pacer held the role of the bowling coach, but will lead the side as the head coach in Sri Lanka in next month's Nidahas trophy between the hosts and India.
The 15-man squad has also been announced and they are as follows
Shakib Al Hasan (captain), Imrul Kayes, Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar,
Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mustafizur Rahman, Nazmul Hossain Apu,
Ariful Haque, Abu Hider Rony, Abu Jayed Rahi, Nurul Hasan Shohan, Sabbir
Rahman, Taskin Ahmed and Mehidy Hasan Miraz
