The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is actively looking for a new bowling coach for the national team. According to sources, former Pakistani fast bowler Umar Gul has emerged as a leading candidate for the position. Meanwhile, former Australian pacer Shaun Tait is also in the running.
Current Bowling Coach’s Future in Doubt
BCB is considering replacing Andre Adams, the current bowling coach, due to concerns over his performance. The former New Zealand fast bowler, who was appointed as Bangladesh’s bowling coach, has a contract running until February 2026. However, the board is reportedly not satisfied with his contribution and is exploring alternatives.
Umar Gul’s Coaching Experience
Umar Gul, a former Pakistan fast bowler, has valuable coaching experience. He has previously served as the bowling coach for the Pakistan national team and has also worked with the Afghanistan cricket team in a similar capacity. His expertise in fast bowling and his experience working with international teams make him a strong contender for the Bangladesh coaching role.
Shaun Tait Also in Contention
Another name in consideration for the position is Shaun Tait, who has also served as a bowling coach for the Pakistan cricket team in the past. The former Australian pacer was known for his extreme pace during his playing days and could bring valuable insights to Bangladesh’s fast-bowling unit.
What’s Next for Bangladesh Cricket?
The final decision on the new bowling coach is expected soon, as Bangladesh prepares for upcoming international assignments. The BCB will be looking for a coach who can enhance the performance of their fast bowlers and help the team compete at the highest level.
