BCB in talks with Aaqib Javed for bowling coach

BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said the board is in talks with former Pakistan fast bowler Aaqib Javed for the post of Bangladesh's bowling coach.

"We are in touch with Aaqib Javed," Hassan said. "Our CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury informed us that we will get an answer from him - yes or no - by day after tomorrow (Tuesday). We are also discussing if we can talk about the alternatives."

The position became vacant when Heath Streak decided not to continue as the bowling coach last month.

Aaqib, who stepped down as the UAE coach in April, is also the director of cricket operations with Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League.

So far, the BCB has been in discussions with three other candidates.
