‘Whatmore unable to read Asian minds’
DHAKA, May 16: Mahmudur Rahman, Chief Executive of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), says the outgoing coach Dav Whatmore lacked a ‘characteristic essential’ in dealing with Sub-continent teams.
With a fair amount of speculation building as to Whatmore’s future in India, also in search of a coach, Rahman offered a word of caution about the Sri Lankan-born Whatmore.
“From what we’ve read and seen, the issue for India seems to be that coaches have not been able to get into players’ heart and that could be one aspect the Indian board might want to talk about,” he told Times Now, an Indian TV channel, in Dhaka.
Whatmore, being an Australian, is used to the Australian way of doing things.
“There (in Australia), you do not have so much of explanation. Here in the Sub-continent, we’re very emotional people and sometimes a player performs depending upon how he feels when he gets out of bed,” Rahman expressed.—Agencies
