Interview
Jamie Siddons and Mominul Haque reached the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur in the early hours of Saturday. The Australian batting coach worked with Mominul continuously for two hours and thoroughly enjoyed the long session. Since returning to Bangladesh cricket for his second stint, Siddons has expressed his desire to operate outside the bubble of the national team. But the busy schedule of the Bangladesh team prevented him from doing so.
Finally he is getting this chance. He has been officially named the batting coach of the Bangladesh ‘A’ team and Bangladesh Tigers. The former Bangladesh head coach was initially ‘relegated’ as batting coach in his second stint. Now, he is completely out of the national team coaching panel. However, Siddons is having no trouble adjusting as he wanted to from the start. In an interview with Prothom Alo on Saturday, Siddons talked about his new role and shared what he wants to accomplish in his new post.
