Former New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori has been appointed as the new spin consultant for Bangladesh on a short-term basis following a meeting of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Friday.

While Vettori has been roped in as the spin consultant, former South Africa bowler Charles Langeveldt has been appointed as the fast bowling coach for the national team on a two-year contract.

Vettori and Langeveldt take over the roles vacated by Sunil Joshi and Courtney Walsh respectively whose contracts with the BCB were not renewed following the team’s eighth-place finish in the 2019 World Cup.

Bangladesh are, however, yet to announce a new head coach for the side following the departure of Steve Rhodes.

Vettori has been brought in to help guide Bangladesh’s spinners in the lead up to the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia with the former Black Caps man set to work with the side for approximately 100 days.

The former Royal Challengers Bangalore coach’s brief tenure with Bangladesh will see him help the team in their preparations for the tour of India, the Asia Cup and the 2020 tour of New Zealand.

“I have followed Bangladesh cricket for a very long time and have some great memories from touring the country,” Vettori said on his appointment.

“This is a team on the rise and there is so much experience and potential. It will be a pleasure to work with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam and the other up and coming youngsters which I am looking forward to with a lot of interest.

“Spin bowling has been a traditional strength for Bangladesh. I hope to share my knowledge as a player and coach of the demands of modern day spin bowling in all versions of the game and help the bowlers make good intelligent decisions so that they can maximise their talents and skills.”

Langeveldt, on the other hand, has served as Cricket South Africa’s fast bowling consultant and the bowling coach of Afghanistan previously.
