Former South African head coach Ottis Gibson said that he is waiting for a reply from Bangladesh Cricket Board about his inclusion in the national coaching panel as their next pace bowling coach.
‘’I have not heard anything since the last time we spoke [with BCB officials],’’ Gibson told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Friday after completing his stint as the head coach of Cumilla Warriors.
‘’There is supposed to be a big meeting here tomorrow and I will hear something after that,’’ he said.
‘’At the moment there is no plan and I am waiting to hear from BCB whether they want me to join them or not,’’ he said.
‘’I have made myself available if that’s what they want. I am waiting out to see what transpires from the meeting tomorrow,’’ he said.
Earlier, Gibson stated that he was in discussions with the BCB for the role of the national team's pace bowling coach that went vacant since the departure of former bowling coach Charl Langeveldt.
BCB decided to release Langeveldt so that he can join the South African national set-up as per the request of Cricket South Africa.
Sylhet Thunder's bowling coach Nantie Hayward also applied for the post as it went vacant after Langeveldt cut short his two-year contract to take up a similar role in the South Africa national set-up.
Bangladesh will be looking to hire a fast bowling coach at the earliest possible time considering they have lot of assignments in 2020 that includes 10 Test matches.
