BCB appoints new coach
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Naveed Nawaz as the Head Coach and Batting Consultant of the Bangladesh Under-19 team. The country's cricket governing body confirmed the matter in a statement on Saturday (June 1).
He has been appointed on a two-year contract until 2026. The title-winning coach will also work as a batting consultant for the youth as well as the age-group team.
After retirement in 2005, Nawaz concentrated on coaching. He has the experience of coaching various clubs in domestic cricket in Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka's Under-19 team, women's national team.
He took charge of the Bangladesh Under-19 team in 2018. The red-green team was runners-up in the 2019 Youth Asia Cup. Then the youth lifted the title in the Youth World Cup in South Africa. BCB extended the contract with him after the title celebration.
Bangladesh also played in the 2022 Youth World Cup. However, the Tiger youth could not do well. Then the BCB did not renew the contract. In April that year, Nawaz was appointed as the assistant coach of the Sri Lankan national team. He had been there for so long.
T20 World Cup: Can be the farewell stage for these cricketers
T20 means spreading heat with bat and ball. Teams rely on young cricketers to heat up the world stage of the shorter version of cricket. However, several cricketers are looking forward to showing their old bones.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah Riyad's last World Cup in the red-green jersey. Shakib, the country's best all-rounder, is the only Bangladeshi cricketer who has represented the Tigers since the first edition of the T20 World Cup.
At the age of 37, Mr. 75, with 47 wickets in 36 innings, is the top wicket-taker in the limited-overs World Series. Scored 742 runs. This all-rounder can end the international chapter of T20 from this season.
Mahmudullah Riyad is the most senior cricketer in Tigers T20 team. Despite making his T20 World Cup debut in 2007, the 38-years-old batting all-rounder has played just 26 matches. Where he collected 363 runs and took 8 wickets. Glimpses of T20 bat of this all-rounder, known as the silent killer, may not be seen again after the World Cup.
India's 37-year-old captain Rohit Sharma, 35-year-old Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja, one of the most successful players in the short format of cricket, could be the last T20 World Cup this year.
England's 36-year-old all-rounder Moeen Ali and Australia's 38-year-old opener David Warner are also on the list of possible T20 farewells.
This World Cup may be Glenn Maxwell's last World Cup. However, there were concerns about his presence in Ajid's squad.
Despite being irregular in the national team, Andre Russell, the peddler of T20, will play the World Cup this time. However, the chances of seeing him in the Caribbean jersey is very low. South Africa's Quinton de Kock-David Miller and Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabira can say goodbye from the fight on the world stage.
