Mohammad Salahuddin has been appointed as the senior assistant coach of the national men’s cricket team, with his contract set to run until March 15, 2025, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed on Tuesday, November 5.
BCB president Faruque Ahmed expressed that Salahuddin’s inclusion in the national setup will open doors for other local coaches to be integrated into the system in the future.
“When I assumed the role of BCB President, I made a commitment to provide opportunities for deserving candidates to contribute to the national team.
Salahuddin brings with him a wealth of experience, pedigree, and knowledge, making him the ideal candidate for this role.
I strongly believe it’s time to bring more capable Bangladeshi coaches into the fold,” Faruque said in a statement on Tuesday.
With a coaching career spanning over two decades, Salahuddin has previously served as Assistant Coach and Fielding Coach for the national team from 2006 to 2010.
He also worked as a specialist coach at the BCB National Cricket Academy from 2010 to 2011.
In 2014, he was appointed Head Coach of Singapore, leading the team in the ICC World Cricket League Division 4.
Salahuddin holds an ACC-Cricket Australia Level 3 accreditation and is regarded as one of the most successful local coaches, having won multiple Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League titles with the teams he has coached.
Salahuddin is expected to travel with the Bangladesh team on November 10 when they depart Dhaka for the West Indies to play two Tests, three ODIs, and three T20Is.
