Last month, the BCB has appointed Jamie Siddons as the batting coach and Albie Morkel is expected to help the Bangladesh batters only in their power-hitting aspect of the game as the team is struggling in this aspect of the game.“He is a very experienced batter and we feel that our batters will be helped with his coaching,” said BCB Cricket Operation chairman Jalal Yunus on the appointment of Albie Morkel.
The three-match ODI series kickstarts on 18th March, Friday at the SuperSport Park, Centurion. After the ODI series, the two teams will also play a two-match Test series.
