Rangana Herath has denied a new coaching contract from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). The former Sri Lankan spinner joined BCB as a spin bowling coach in December 2021. Back then, he had signed a two-year deal, which expired in late 2023.
After the contract ended, BCB officials reached out to Rangana Herath for a new role of a spin mentor. The new role would require him to work with the spinners of the country for 200 days a year. Herath initially showed interest in the role but decided to give the final answer after a discussion with his lawyers.
BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus confirmed to reporters last night that Herath has declined the offer. As per Cricbuzz, Yunus said:
“Herath is not with us. The offer we made to him (Herath) he did not accept and so he is no more with us.”
Apart from Herath, fielding coach Shane McDermott has also left the coaching staff. Besides, BCB has also posted advertisements for strength and conditioning coach, batting coach, assistant coach, pace bowling coach, and analyst for the team.
