BCB still working on High Performance!

It has been four months gone since the matter was discussed, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is still working to revive it's High Performance Unit.
“It is taking time as we are looking to appoint a head coach for the national academy. We are hopeful that it will take shape very soon as we are closing in on appointing an academy head coach,” said BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury yesterday.
“We are yet to finalise the formation of the unit,” he added.
The name of highly respected former India coach John Wright came to the media for the position and Nizamuddin said that they were in touch with the former New Zealand batsman as well as some others.
“Actually we are looking for a high-profile coach who has vast knowledge about the development of the game and we also want to see him run the High Performance Unit. Rather than going for full time appointment we are preferring a programme-based appointment,” informed Nizamuddin.
The importance of reviving the High Performance Unit (HP) was raised once again in order to make sure that enough players are ready in the pipeline. Head coach Chandika Hathurusingha emphasised the need for the programme as he wanted the discarded national players, who do not have any programm, to remain fit and stay in contention for the national side.
The once-successful programme had collapsed following Richard McInnes's departure in 2005 and in the last few years the board often said that they were going to revive it, but that is yet to happen.
“Right at this moment we might not feel the need of it due to the Premier League but we desperately need it. As per my knowledge our local coach Sarwar Imran was already appointed for this programme and I hope everything will take shape within a short time,” said chief selector Faruque Ahmed.
