DHAKA: Bangladesh’s cricket board on Friday named Sridharan Sriram as the technical consultant for the country’s Twenty20 International side until the World Cup in Australia later this year.

The former all-rounder currently serves as spin and batting coach for Royal Challengers Bangalore after spells helping shepherd India through last year’s Test championship and consulting with Australia.

“There are several issues that have been considered, like involvement with IPL,” Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hassan told reporters in Dhaka.
