'Fountain deal by April 19'
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has informed that they are still in negotiations with fielding coach Julien Fountain.
According to BCB CEO Manzur Ahmed, they are in talks with the Englishman with the outcome to be known sometime later this week.
"We are in talks with him and it will be confirmed in the next day or two. In fact we have a board meeting on April 19 and by then the outcome will be known," Manzur said yesterday.
Fountain's first contract, after being hired in August last year, was till March 31 but the board extended it by a month after the Australia series was confirmed.
"If he agrees with the terms and conditions, a fresh contract will be given as he currently has a temporary contract with the board," informed Manzur, who also added that the board will start searching for a new coach very soon.
It was however learned from sources that the board's negotiations have left a lot to be desired.
