Australia’s Shaun Tait presents his candidature for Bangladesh’s fast bowling coach

Former Australia fast bowler Shaun Tait has shown interest in getting the role of Bangladesh’s fast bowling coach after the place fell vacant with incumbent Ottis Gibson departing to Yorkshire, choosing not to renew his contract with Bangladesh Cricket Board. "I'm interested, for sure. Absolutely," said Tait. "They (BCB) have got some time to think about who they are going to go with. It'll be a great job," he was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz. Tait, who also worked as a bowling consultant with Afghanistan during the recently concluded T20 World Cup in 2021, is currently working with Chattogram Challengers as their pace bowling coach for the Bangladesh Premier League which will start from Friday, January 21 in Dhaka. Talking about his interest in the role, Tait said, "In general, the stage Bangladesh cricket are in, there are so many good young players. They could become great players. Shoriful is an aggressive left-arm bowler. He is gonna be extremely important to this team. He has played enough cricket now to know what he is doing. So, I'm looking forward to working with him.” "Bangladesh have got quite a decent depth of young players, even fast bowlers. The next 5-6-7 years are gonna be exciting for cricket here in Bangladesh," added the 38-year-old. In his playing days, Tait, who represented Australia in 59 internationals across all three formats and picked up 95 wickets, was considered one of the fastest bowlers to have ever played the game.

Shaun Tait resigns as Afghanistan's fast-bowling consultant with immediate effect

Former Australian pacer Shaun Tait has resigned with immediate effect from his post of fast-bowling consultant for the Afghanistan national side. He was roped in by Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) in August this year for a period of five months and he has chosen not serve the full tenure as bowling consultant for the side that have found themselves in a lot of trouble through off field issues. He rated the Afghanistan pacers very highly and predicted a “great future” for them while also commending his time with the head coach Lance Klusener, who has also resigned from the post of head coach. However, he will complete his tenure and separate from the team only by the end of the year. "I have enjoyed my time working with the team especially with the young Afghan fast bowlers whom I personally think have a great future. Having access to a great cricketing mind like Lance Klusener (head coach of Afghanistan during my tenure) has been an absolute pleasure,” Tait said. Tait has signed bowling coach contract with the Indian domestic side Puducherry and his decision to end association with Afghanistan can also been credited to that contract.
