Bangladesh draft in Daniel Vettori and Charl Langeveldt as bowling coaches

The duo have replaced Courtney Walsh and Sunil Joshi after their contracts were not renewed following Bangladesh's poor finish at the World Cup

Former Middlesex coach Daniel Vettori has joined Bangladesh as their new spin-bowling coach on a short-term basis.

The former New Zealand left-arm spinner will be with the team for 100 working days, including on the tour of India later this year, and the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia.

He has been joined in the bowling coach department by former South Africa fast bowler Charl Langeveldt, who has joined full-time on a two-year deal.

The duo have replaced Courtney Walsh and Sunil Joshi after their contracts were not renewed following Bangladesh's eighth-place finish at the World Cup.

On his appointment, Vettori said: "This is a team on the rise and there is so much experience and potential.

"It will be a pleasure to work with the likes of Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan, Taijul Islam and the other up and coming youngsters which I am looking forward to with a lot of interest.

"Spin bowling has been a traditional strength for Bangladesh. I hope to share my knowledge as a player and coach of the demands of modern day spin bowling in all versions of the game and help the bowlers make good intelligent decisions so that they can maximise their talents and skills."

Vettori also has other commitments around the world, as he will also be the assistant coach of Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred and head coach of Dublin Chiefs in the Euro T20 Slam, while his track record has seen him enjoy stints with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Brisbane Heat and Rajshahi Kings.

However, Bangladesh's search for a new head coach goes on after Steve Rhodes' departure following the World Cup.

"We spoke to some coaches, and Andy Flower is one of them," BCB president Nazmul Hassan told ESPNcricinfo.

"But nothing has been finalised. We are still talking to the coaches."
