The biggest reason for the Tigers' failure in the T20 World Cup this time is the failure in fielding. The role of fielding coach Ryan Cook has been called into question, along with the responsibility of the cricketers in the practice of catch-misses throughout the World Cup.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) finally fired Ryan Cook. Akram Khan, the chairman of the company's cricket management department, confirmed his dismissal yesterday. Ryan Cook's term is set to expire next December. However, the BCB has canceled the contract with him before the Pakistan series.
The Pakistan series will be continued with a local coach in place of this South African. Regarding the cancellation of Cook's contract, Akram said, "We are not getting Cook. He will be replaced by a new local coach. We will finalize who he will be on November 18. Cook's term is in its final stages. We are not renewing the contract with him. That is why he is not in the series.
The BCB will appoint a new coach as soon as possible after Cook's departure. Besides, we are also looking at high quality fielding coaches and hopefully we will get them within a month. 'Bangladesh has missed fielding in almost every match in the World Cup. In the preliminary round, Bangladesh had to lose to the Scots in a chaotic fielding. Despite scoring big against Sri Lanka in the Super Twelve, Bangladesh lost due to two catches. After missing the match against West Indies in three catches, Bangladesh dropped out of the World Cup mission! Cook was hired in July on the advice of Gary Carsten.
He had no experience of international cricket at that time. He was the head coach and performance director of Gary Carsten Cricket Academy in Cape Town. Although the coaching staff has changed twice in the last three and a half years, he has survived. The BCB finally dismissed him.
