Bangladesh have appointed former Pakistan leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed as spin bowling coach in a boost for the Tigers ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup.
He will join the squad ahead of the preparation camp later in April for the T20 series against Zimbabwe, Bangladesh Cricket Board said in a statement on Tuesday.
Mushtaq will work with the Tigers until the end of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the West Indies and the US in June.
The 53-year old has an abundance of experience as the spin bowling coach with England (2008-2014), West Indies (2018-19) and Pakistan (2020-22).
Mushtaq has also held the position of the Pakistan team’s bowling consultant (2014-16).
“It is a great honour for me to be a part of the Bangladesh cricket team as a spin bowling coach,” Mushtaq said in the statement.
“I am looking forward to the role and want to pass my experience to the players because they are very coachable and I always believe that they are one of the most dangerous teams around.
“They can beat anyone because they have the capability, the resources and the talent. I will try to instil that belief into them. I am very excited at the opportunity to work with the team.”
