Bangladesh on Friday Sep 02,2016 named former Sri Lankan cricketer Thilan
Samaraweera as their batting consultant for next month's home series
against England.
England will arrive in Dhaka on September 30 to play two Tests and 3 ODI's
Samaraweera's appointment came a day after former West Indies great Courtney Walsh agreed a three-year term to become the specialist pace bowling coach of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB).
BCB president Nazmul Hassan said the board was in the process of appointing more coaching staff ahead of a flurry of international cricket, including a tour to New Zealand in December-January and maiden Test in India in February.
"We have confirmed the service of Samaraweera as our batting consultant for England series," Hassan told
"Fielding coach Richard Halsall will now work as the assistant coach. We are also looking for a spin bowling coach."
Bangladesh recently terminated the contract of the national team's Sri Lankan assistant coach Ruwan Kalpage after he failed to turn up for a training camp.
