South African great Gary Kirsten, who coached India to World Cup success, said today he is helping rudderless Bangladesh quickly to find a coach ahead of a looming tour.
Bangladesh have not had a coach since Sri Lankan Chandika Hathurusingha stepped down in October after a successful three-year stint.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Kirsten as a consultant to help find a coach before a tour of the West Indies in July and August.
Kirsten arrived in Bangladesh on Sunday and has already met players, BCB officials, selectors and local coaches.
"I know Chandika did a great job with the team. I just want to understand what that was about and what made the team do well in that time," said Kirsten, 50.
"Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will have someone in place to take the team forward."
