BCB dismisses fielding coach Ryan Cook

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has dismissed Ryan Cook, the fielding coach of the national cricket team following Bangladesh’s disastrous Twenty20 World Cup campaign in UAE and Oman.

Akram Khan, director and also the chairman of Cricket Operations also said that the board is not signing a new contract with Ryan Cook.

The BCB had a contract with the South African coach until the T20 World Cup. Cook was hired in July 2018 on the advice of Garry Kirsten.

"Cook will be replaced by a local coach. We will finalize it on November 16. His (Cook) contract is in the last stage. We are not renewing the contract,” Akram said on Saturday.

“We are also looking for a high quality fielding coach. We hope to get it in a month,” he added.
