West Indies fast bowling great Courtney Walsh is likely to be named the new bowling coach of the Bangladesh cricket team. The role has been vacant ever since the departure of former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak, whose two-year deal with the Tigers came to an end in May this year. At the moment, Walsh is contracted with the West Indies as the national selector. His contract expires after the ongoing series against India. The 53-year old legendary paceman scalped 519 wickets in 132 Tests and 227 wickets in 205 one-day internationals. The right-arm fast bowler made his Test debut against Australia back in 1986 in Perth and retired from international cricket against South Africa in Kingston in 2001. Walsh later worked as the Windies Under-19 manager for the 2012 U-19 World Cup and featured in several radio and television commentary programmes before being appointed as the national selector in August 2014. He was handed a two-year contract by the West Indies Cricket Board. Previously, Walsh never worked as a bowling coach but nonetheless, the likely addition of the high-profile fast bowler will no doubt boost the Tigers dugout. Earlier, following Streak's resignation, former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed had turned down the offer after the BCB approached him. Aaqib though was unable to join the Tigers as he was involved as the director of cricket operations with the Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars. Former South African fast bowler Allan Donald's name was also among the probable list along with former Sri Lankan pacemen Chaminda Vaas and Champaka Ramanayake.
