BCB president Nazmul Hassan stated that the new hiring would take.place between February 18 and 20. The report also stated that S Sriram would be working as a technical consultant for the T20I side.
"The coach will come. I don't if it is Hathuru or someone else, nor has the BCB announced it, but you will see. He will definitely be in place before the England series [starting March 1]. I won't say who it will be. He will be here by February 18-20,” he stated to ESPNcricinfo.
Hathurusingha resigned from the position of assistant coach of New South Wales recently. He has prior experience of coaching Bangladesh between 2014 and 2017, managing quite a successful stint m including an ODI-winning streak at home. The BCB had also mentioned in the past that they want a stern and aggressive coach and Hathurusingha fits the criteria.
