Courtney Walsh
Bangladesh yesterday named West Indies fast bowling great Courtney Walsh as interim coach for next month's tri-nation Twenty20 series in Sri Lanka comprising India. Walsh has been Bangladesh's fast bowling coach since early 2016 but had never been called on to take charge of the entire squad.
