The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced a series of strategic moves aimed at both improving on-field performance and tightening off-field governance.
With major tournaments on the horizon and integrity in domestic competitions under scrutiny, these changes reflect a proactive approach to strengthening the national cricket setup.
Strengthening the Coaching Setup
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has confirmed three significant appointments following its latest meeting in Dhaka.
Former Sri Lanka Cricket batting consultant Julian Wood will join as a specialist batting coach for a three-month stint, focusing on power-hitting techniques to boost Bangladesh’s white-ball firepower.
In addition, Tony Hemming returns as BCB’s curator after a year-long spell with the Pakistan Cricket Board in the same role. His reappointment raises the question of continuity for Shere Bangla National Stadium curator Gamini Silva, who has now been granted a one-year contract extension.
Bolstering Anti-Corruption Measures
In a move aimed at strengthening governance, Alex Marshall, the former general manager of the ICC’s anti-corruption unit, has been brought on board as a consultant for one year.
His task will be to help enhance the BCB’s anti-corruption structure. The board has also enlisted the ICC’s integrity unit to directly oversee anti-corruption measures during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
The timing is significant, as the BCB’s anti-corruption department is currently handling ongoing investigations into allegations from both the BPL and the Dhaka Premier League during the 2024–25 season.
These appointments come at a time when Bangladesh cricket is juggling on-field preparations — including the upcoming Asia Cup and a series against the Netherlands — with off-field measures to safeguard the integrity of the sport.
