When the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) offered him the position of spin instructor, former international Rangana Herath was eager to accept. Herath expressed interest in a role where he could mentor young cricket players; therefore, he was requested to work with players in several age groups instead of only the national squad. Herath, 45, withdrew from the deal shortly after requesting some time to consult with his attorneys prior to signing it.
His relationship with BCB came to an end when he turned down the offer that was made. Herath was requested to work with the local talent in Bangladesh for 200 days, according to Cricbuzz. According to early reports, the former cricket player didn’t worry about that, but after talking to his lawyers, he might have changed his mind. Jalal Yunus, chairman of BCB cricket operations, verified the news and said Herath rejected their offering.
“Herath is not in our presence. His herath is no longer among us since he rejected the offer we presented to him, Yunus stated.
BCB recently established a five-person committee to find foreign coaches for the national team.
Former captains Khaled Mahmud and Naimur Rahman, BCB program head David Moore, and chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury are on the committee.
Yunus disclosed their discussions in the boardroom, stating that they have narrowed down the applicants and that a video interview is scheduled for February 6. Notably, the Bangladesh Cricket Team is now hiring for a number of posts, including head coach, strength and conditioning coach, pace bowling coach, analyst, and a few others. According to Yunus, the head coach will be appointed shortly and will begin working with the team on February 20 in preparation for the Sri Lanka series.
We’re trying to fill the open jobs and the head coach will arrive on February 20. Naimur Rahman, Khaled Mahmud, CEO (Nizamuddin Chowdhury), David Moore, and myself make up our committee. We sat down today and created a short list. We will be scheduling an interview shortly. On February 6, we will do virtual interviews with those who made the short list, Yunus stated.
