BCB set to appoint Sridharan Sriram as Bangladesh T20 coach till T20 WC 2022

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided to rope in former Indian player Sridharan Sriram as the team's new T20I coach. His tenure will last until the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, and his first assignment with the Tigers will be the upcoming Asia Cup 2022, beginning on August 27 in the UAE.

Earlier, BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon hinted at making crucial changes ahead of the marquee event. However, Russell Domingo will continue to coach Bangladesh's Test and One-Day International teams.

Verifying the news, a BCB source told Daily Star: 

"Yes, we have chosen Sriram up until the world cup."

​Sriram represented India between 2000-04, playing eight ODIs. In 133 First-Class and 147 List-A appearances, the southpaw has accumulated 13,707 runs with 36 centuries and 62 half-centuries.

The Tamil Nadu-born played a crucial role in Australia's victorious campaign in the 2021 T20 World Cup alongside former coach Justin Langer. He terminated his six-year term with the Australian men's team last month.
