Discussions have been going on for a long time to appoint a power heating coach in the Bangladesh team. This position is especially important in limited-overs cricket. The issue became more acute after the failure of the last T20 World Cup. Eventually, a coach was appointed to the post.
According to BCB sources, the BCB has appointed former South Africa all-rounder Albie Morkel as the power-hitting coach. He has been named in the squad for the three-match ODI series against South Africa. Morkel has already started working with the Bangladesh team on tour to South Africa. Earlier, the BCB had appointed Allan Donald as the pace bowling coach.

Donald has played 72 Tests for South Africa. Took 330 wickets. He has a lot of coaching experience. He has also been the pace bowling coach for the South Africa team, County Club Kent in England, and the IPL.
The BCB deal with Ottis Gibson ended last January. He did not renew his two-year contract. In 2020, Gibson replaces Charl Langeveldt as Bangladesh’s pace bowling coach.
The ODI series against South Africa will start next Friday. The ODI team members will have the opportunity to practice for just four days before the series. The remaining two ODIs of the three-match series are March 20 and 23. The Test series will start at the end of ODIs. The two tests will be from March 31 to April 4 and April 8 to 12.
