Mohammad Salahuddin appointed Bangladesh senior assistant coach

BCB has appointed Mohammad Salahuddin as senior assistant coach of the Bangladesh men’s team. His contract will run through March 15 next year, as will head coach Phil Simmons’. Salahuddin’s first assignment is likely to be Bangladesh’s tour of the West Indies, which begins with a four-day warm-up match in Antigua.

Salahuddin previously served as Bangladesh assistant and fielding coach under Dav Whatmore and Jamie Siddons. He also worked as a specialist coach at the BCB national cricket academy from 2010 to 2011 before becoming head coach of Singapore in 2014. He holds a Level 3 accreditation from ACC-cricket Australia.

Considered one of the most prominent voices in Bangladesh cricket, Salahuddin has had a contentious relationship with the BCB in recent years. He was appointed as batting consultant in 2017 only to change his decision at the last minute. He has often criticized the board’s position regarding pitching and selection.

Salahuddin is also highly regarded by most players in Bangladesh as he began his coaching career by developing players like Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal when they were young. It also influences the growth of the current generation of cricketers like Jaker Ali and Mahidul Islam Ankon.

BCB president Faruque Ahmed said Salahuddin met several requirements for the position. In his first press conference as president of the board of directors, Faruque declared himself in favor of promoting Bangladeshi coaches.

“When I became BCB president, I was committed to providing opportunities to deserving candidates to contribute to the national team setup,” he said. “Salahuddin brings with him a wealth of experience, pedigree and knowledge, making him the ideal candidate for this position. I firmly believe that it is time to integrate more capable Bangladeshi coaches into the system.”
