Bangladesh appoint experienced assistant to coaching staff

The well-respected coach will step into the role of senior assistant coach under the watchful eye of former West Indies all-rounder and current head coach Simmons, with their next assignment coming in the Caribbean during Bangladesh's tour that includes two Tests, three ODIs and a trio of T20Is.

The Test series will form a part of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship cycle, although both Bangladesh and the West Indies are out of contention of reaching next year's final.

Bangladesh Cricket Board president Faruque Ahmed is hoping the appointment will lead to more local coaches being promoted to key roles in the future.

"When I took over as BCB president, I made a commitment to provide opportunities for deserving candidates to contribute to the national team set-up," he said.

"Salahuddin brings with him a wealth of experience, pedigree, and knowledge, making him the ideal candidate for this role. I firmly believe it is time to integrate more capable Bangladeshi coaches into the system."
