Because of BPL, there is less talk about some relevant and important issues outside the field. But even within this, some interesting questions are peeping in the minds of cricket fans.
Who is the new batting coach of Bangladesh? Who is the next bowling coach of Taskin Ahmed, Shariful Islam, Mostafizur Rahman? What is the future of Chief Selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu and Habibul Bashar Sumon? Will their contract be renewed? Or will two new selectors be nominated? When will the investigation report of the World Cup failure of Team Bangladesh be published? Everyone is curious to know these things.
Inside news, the answers to all the above curious questions may be known on Monday. If everything goes well, these questions can be answered at two o’clock. An important meeting of the board of directors will be held today at the BCB building. This is the first board meeting of the board after BCB president Nazmul Hasan Papon took charge as full minister of youth and sports ministry. Many important decisions can be taken in the meeting.
According to reliable sources at the highest level of the board, the agenda of today’s board meeting includes all the above. According to sources, the number one agenda of this board meeting is – Sheikh Hasina Stadium. The progress of the construction of the stadium will be discussed and reviewed.
Then the second agenda is to finalize the appointment of batting and pace bowling coach of the national team. Along with this, there will be a discussion on whether the contract with the selectors of the national team will be extended, or whether new selectors will be appointed – that issue and the report of the investigation committee on the failure of World Cup cricket.
It is known that Australia’s Stuart Law, England’s Paul Nixon, New Zealand’s Ross Taylor, Sri Lanka’s Thilan Samaraweera and Bangladesh’s Tushar Imran have applied as batting coaches and they have all been interviewed online.
Among these, BCB is likely to select Sri Lankan Thilan Samaraweera as batting coach for the second time. Responsible sources of the board have confirmed this information to Jagonews.
Sources also said that among those interviewed, Ross Taylor is not the batting coach. Because, Ross Taylor will not have to give as much time as the BCB has asked him to work as a coach in a year. And Tushar Imran’s application has already been rejected. Because, the former batsman of the national team applied after the scheduled time.
Meanwhile, BCB is reluctant to give Stuart Law the responsibility. BCB is most interested in putting the responsibility of youth on his shoulders. Meanwhile, BCB is interested in West Indian Corey Collymore among the applicants for the post of pace bowling coach. This Caribbean can be seen as the coach of Taskin, Mostafiz and Shariful.
Former Australian pacer Sean Tait, Bangladesh’s Mahbubul Alam Zaki, New Zealand’s Andre Adams also applied to become Bangladesh’s pace bowling coach. Meanwhile, Sean Tait has already taken charge of the West Indies cricket team. BCB is not very interested in others.
Besides, BCB is going to adopt a little ‘go slow policy’ for the time being in selecting selectors. It is known that BCB wants to keep the chief selector Minhajul Abedin Nannu and the other selector Habibul Bashar Sumon as selectors till the next T20 World Cup.
Since the T20 World Cup in USA and West Indies next June, BCB does not want to change the position of chief selector before that. At the moment, if a new chief selector appoints someone and there is another selector with him, selecting the team in a big event like T20 World Cup can be a big problem.
With that in mind, the contract of Nannu and Suman is being thought to be extended till the next T20 World Cup. Maybe the decision in this regard will be finalized after discussion and review in the board meeting on February 12.
