Bangladesh Cricket Board has appointed Thilan Samaraweera as a batting consultant for the upcoming England series. BCB president Nazmul Hasan said on Friday that he will be available only for one series but the contract could be extended. He also said they are looking for a spin bowling coach, who could be appointed before Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand later this year. “Thilan Samaraweera, the batting specialist, has been hired for the England series as a consultant,” Hasan said. Halsall was part of the major shake-up in the coaching staff that came about in mid-2014, when head coach Chandika Hathurusingha was also appointed.
