Gibson waiting for BCB's response

Cumilla Warriors head coach Ottis Gibson said that he is waiting for a reply from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) regarding his role as the next pace bowling coach of Bangladesh. 

The BCB released pace bowling coach Charl Langeveldt from his post as per the request of the Cricket South Africa (CSA) on December 18, 2019 and since then, the post remained vacant.

Gibson had earlier mentioned that he was willing to work with the BCB. The West Indian said that he is now waiting for a reply from the board, which might come after the scheduled board meeting tomorrow.

"I have not heard anything since the last time we spoke [with BCB officials],’’ Gibson told reporters after Cumilla Warriors were eliminated from the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL) following their 92-run defeat against Khulna Tigers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Friday .

"There is supposed to be a big meeting here tomorrow [Sunday] and I will hear something after that. At the moment there is no plan and I am waiting to hear from BCB whether they want me to join them or not. I have made myself available if that’s what they want. I am waiting out to see what transpires from the meeting tomorrow.’’ Gibson concluded.
