Legendary former West Indian pacer Courtney Walsh is ‘set to join’ the Bangladesh national cricket team as its new bowling coach.
According to ESPNcricinfo, Walsh has already signed a contract with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and it will run until the 2019 World Cup. He will succeed coach Heath Streak, who served the role for two years until May. However, there is no official confirmation from either the BCB or Walsh over the appointment.
If he joins, it will be Walsh’s first major coaching role in international cricket after his retirement from the game in 2001.
The former West Indies skipper has worked as a cricket administration in different capacities, including the national team selector, and mentored the Jamaica Tallawahs in the CPL.
