Former India all-rounder Sridharan Sriram is set to take on the role of technical consultant for the Bangladesh cricket team for the World Cup in India. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the development on Thursday (September 21).
Sriram brings a wealth of coaching experience, having previously worked with both the Bangladeshi and Australian national teams.
He was a technical consultant for Bangladesh’s T20I squad during last year’s Asia Cup and the World Cup. From 2018 to 2022, he served as the assistant coach of the Australian team. Between 2015 and 2018, Sriram worked as a consultant coach for Cricket Australia.
Sriram will start this stint with the Bangladesh team in Guwahati from the beginning of their World Cup journey with the warm-up games.
