Streak in town
Bangladesh's newly appointed bowling coach Heath Streak reached Dhaka last night in a bid to join the Bangladesh camp ahead of their India series. Upon reaching the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, a visibly weary Streak broke into a wry smile after he saw a huge media contingent waiting for him outside the airport.
With an official press conference scheduled at the Bangladesh Cricket Board's (BCB's) headquarters at Mirpur today afternoon, Streak was not willing to say much. The former Zimbabwe pacer, however, greeted the reporters in the local way and said that he was happy to arrive in a place he considers to be his 'second home'.
“Assalamu Alaikum to all. I am happy to be here. My first match was played in Dhaka, so this is kind of like my second home. I have seen lots of their bowling side as a coach and also played against some of them. I am looking forward to this role,” said Streak.
Streak played for Zimbabwe between 1993 and 2005, scoring 4933 runs and taking 455 wickets in international cricket. He has signed a two-year deal with the BCB, over which time he will work with the Bangladesh team for 450 days.
