DHAKA, Oct 18: Bangladesh could have a new coach in place in time for their tour of New Zealand in December, after the Bangladesh Cricket Board named Gordon Greenidge, John Dyson and Colin Miller on a new three-man shortlist.

The team has been without a full-time appointment ever since their long-term coach, Dav Whatmore, stepped down following a successful World Cup campaign in April.

Whatmore stayed on in an interim capacity for the visit of India in May, and since then the former Under-19 coach Shaun Williams has overseen the squad’s preparations.

The new appointment has been an arduous process and last month three candidates — John Harmer, Dave Houghton and Jamie Siddons — all withdrew from the race.

But now the BCB has set a new deadline of the end of October, with three new names in the frame.—Agencies
