Sriram in Sher-e-Bangla, Domingo in hotel

Sridharan Sriram, Bangladesh’s newly appointed Technical Consultant for T20 format arrived in Bangladesh on Sunday in a bid to take the charge of the team.

After landing in Dhaka, he came straight to Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium where Bangladesh team preparing for the Asia Cup T20 tournament, split into two teams was playing their first match scenario warm-up game.

Sriram was seen to be introduced with the players in the ground. Batting coach Jamie Siddons was with him at that moment but head coach Russell Domingo was nowhere seen, BSS reports.

A member of the team management said Domingo was resting in the hotel.

The scenario however told a gloomy tale of Domingo’s future as rumours were rife that Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are no longer interested to keep him as the head coach of the team.

If still Domingo retains his place, it is not clear as of now what will be Domingo’s role if Sriram takes the charge of T20 team. Even though his post is technical consultant, the BCB made it clear he will look after the T20 team till the T20 World Cup as they are desperate to bring up success in the shortest format of the cricket.
