Bangladesh look to address fielding concerns in the lead up to World Cup 2019.
Bangladesh Cricket Board appointed Ryan Lyall Cook as the team's fielding coach on Wednesday (July 11). The South African coach will work with the national side up to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.
Cook, who is expected to join the Bangladesh team in Jamaica on Friday, will replace Sohel Islam, who was performing on an interim basis since the post went vacant after the promotion of Richard Halsall to assistant coach.
Cook is currently the Head Coach and High Performance Director of Gary Kirsten Cricket Academy in Cape Town. He is also the Assistant Coach of Hobart Hurricanes in Australia's Big Bash League and has also served as South Africa A team's Assistant Coach. Cook was also the Assistant Coach of the South Africa Under 19 Team in the ICC Under 19 World Cup 2016 in Bangladesh.
