The West Indies fast bowling great agreed to a three-year contract with the Bangladesh Cricket Board which begins this week, the board said on Thursday. The 53-year-old Walsh, the most successful bowler from the Caribbean Islands with 519 Test wickets, recently completed his role as a West Indies selector. "Having watched Bangladesh cricket from afar over the years, they are a seriously talented bunch of players," Walsh said in a statement. He is a role model to millions and his fast bowling knowledge is second to none," BCB Chief Executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said. "Bangladesh cricket at present is going through the best pace bowling phase in our history and Courtney's involvement I am sure will take it to greater heights."
