Who all are the Bangladesh Cricket Coach?
Cricket coaching is one of the key factors that must be considered while a team is training to perform well in their upcoming cricket matches. In modern-day cricket, coaches need to analyze the match not by entire match but at every ball so that players can improve their performance and perform at the big tournaments. A batsman needs to understand his mistakes from previous matches but techniques to improve those mistakes can be told by the batting coach. If there is scope for improvement in bowling then the bowling coach will be responsible for teaching them a few techniques.
