Allan Donald, Bangladesh’s pace bowling coach, is all set to quit from his position after their last game against Australia, scheduled on November 11.
The legendary pace bowler disclosed his decision to his charges during a team meeting in Pune on Thursday.
A top BCB official confirmed the development to Cricbuzz on request of anonymity.
“Yes, he( Donald) informed us that he will not carry on with us after this World Cup during the team meeting,” the official said on Thursday.
This development marks the end of a brief yet significant tenure for Donald who took charge in March 2022 with the T20 World Cup as the main target. However, with the impressive progress of the team’s pace bowling stocks, his contract was extended by the BCB till the ongoing ICC World Cup.
Cricbuzz had earlier reported that following the ongoing ICC World Cup there will be wholesale changes in the coaching panel of Bangladesh.
BCB on November 8 announced that they will seek explanation from Donald for taking a swipe at skipper Shakib al Hasan after he appealed for the ‘timed out’ dismissal against Angelo Mathews during their game against Sri Lanka in Delhi on November 6.
When Donald’s attention was drawn in this regard, he looked hardly bothered.
“That’s all ok with me if they (BCB) seek an explanation. As far as I am concerned the explanation was in the news today!,” Donald told Cricbuzz adding that he is not interested to carry on with the Bangladesh national cricket team after the ongoing ICC World Cup.
