Bangladesh’s Spin coach for World Cup: World Cup Winning Legend Mushtaq Ahmed!

Bangladesh cricket has received a major boost with the appointment of legendary Pakistani spinner Mushtaq Ahmed as their spin-bowling coach for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Mushtaq’s experience and winning pedigree are a welcome addition to the Bangladesh coaching staff.

A World Cup Winner Joins the Ranks

Mushtaq, a household name in world cricket, brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record. He was a key member of the Pakistan team that clinched the 1992 World Cup and boasts an impressive playing career that includes 144 ODIs and 52 Tests.

Sharing Expertise for Peak Performance

Mushtaq expressed his enthusiasm about the opportunity, stating his desire to share his experience and instill belief in the talented Bangladeshi players. He recognizes their potential and aims to empower them to reach their full potential on the world stage.

A Short Stint with Lasting Impact

While Mushtaq’s official role is for the T20 World Cup this year, his brief tenure with the team can significantly impact young spinners like Rishad Hossain. The opportunity to learn directly from a legend like Mushtaq will undoubtedly prove invaluable for these rising stars.

Filling the Gap Left by Herath

Mushtaq takes over the coaching reins from Rangana Herath, who served Bangladesh in this role for the past two years.

His appointment strengthens the team’s coaching staff, which already includes head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe and specialists for batting, fast bowling, and assistant coaching.

Mushtaq’s Coaching Credentials

Mushtaq isn’t new to the coaching scene. He has a proven track record, having previously served as the spin-bowling coach for England (2008-2014) and Pakistan (2020-2022).

His experience working with international teams adds another layer of expertise to the Bangladesh coaching setup.

With Mushtaq Ahmed on board, Bangladesh cricket is well-positioned to make a strong showing at the T20 World Cup. His guidance and winning mentality can be the missing piece that propels Bangladesh to cricketing glory.
