DHAKA —The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed Craig McMillan as the national team’s batting consultant for the tour of Sri Lanka.
McMillan, the former New Zealand batsman, became the successor of Neil McKenzie who stepped down from the post of batting coach some days ago, citing the family reasons.
In a decade-long international career for the Black Caps, McMillan had scored over 8000 international runs for New Zealand in Test, ODI and T20 formats. Following his retirement as a player McMillan performed the role of New Zealand’s batting and fielding coach from 2014-2019.
The former Kiwi batsman also has coaching experiences with Canterbury, Middlesex and Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab.
The Bangladesh Team is scheduled to tour Sri Lanka for three Test matches in October-November this year.
McMillan will join the team during its pre-tour camp in Sri Lanka, a BCB press release said.
Bangladesh will leave the country on September 23 or 24 before which a three-day camp will be held in the country.BSS
