Jamie Siddons appointed Bangladesh’s new batting coach

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) named Jamie Siddons as Bangladesh's next batting coach.

This comes a day after Ashwell Prince tendered his resignation from the job, citing "family reasons".

Siddons had arrived in Dhaka last week, without a role specified by the BCB - Hassan had said in December that it was "not yet finalised in which area he will work in, whether it is the High Performance, Under-19s or the senior team".

The 57-year-old Australian has spent most of his time since watching BPL matches.

Siddons, who worked as Bangladesh's head coach from 2007 to 2011 delivering several breakthroughs, was first contacted in May last year when Bangladesh were trying to replace Neil McKenzie with a permanent batting coach.

The BCB shortlisted Prince and Siddons, with the former being appointed in July ahead of the Zimbabwe series.
