Aaqib Javed set for short Bangladesh coaching stint

Aaqib Javed, the former Pakistan fast bowler, has agreed to work with the Bangladesh bowlers on a short coaching stint, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) CEO, Nizamuddin Chowdhury told ESPNcricinfo on Thursday (July 28).

Javed will be present at the BCB’s High Performance Unit and will be coaching the fast bowlers from the high performance squad and the national team as well.

The 43-year-old had earlier turned down BCB’s offer to become the national team’s full-time bowling coach after having joined the Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars as their director of cricket operations.

At that time, he had hinted about taking up short-term roles having already quit as the head coach of United Arab Emirates in April.

“He will be arriving tomorrow, and stay for seven-ten days,” Chowdhury said. “He will be coaching fast bowlers from the high performance as well as the national team.”
