Tait’s experience, good insights will benefit Bangladesh: Taskin

New Delhi: Bangladesh pace spearhead Taskin Ahmed praised newly appointed fast bowling coach Shaun Tait, expressing confidence that the Australian’s experience in modern T20 cricket will be a valuable asset to the team.

BCB has appointed Shaun Tait as Bangladesh’s fast-bowling coach. He will join the team setup later this month, having agreed terms with the BCB on a contract that runs until November 2027.

Tait renowned for his express pace in his playing days, represented Australia in 59 international games across formats. He picked up 95 wickets in a career that spanned over a decade. He was a part of Australia’s triumphant squad in the Cricket World Cup 2007.

“Hopefully, many good things are ahead. He was a very good fast bowler and played a lot for Australia. The best part is, we have a lot of T20 cricket this year and he played T20s in the modern era and has experience in major T20 events,” Taskin told reporters at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

“He must have some good insights into the game. Hopefully, his experience will help us. Actually, when you’re in the national set-up, a coach can help with game awareness and some technical aspects, but bowlers mostly have to coach themselves. However, when you have a big personality like Tait around, things become easier and hopefuly his inclusion will benefit us,” he explained.

Taskin, who is currently recovering from an Achilles injury and going through a rehabilitation program, returned from London following a meeting with specialists for his injury and has commenced bowling in the nets as he aims to make comeback during Bangladesh’s multi-format series in Sri Lanka that commences on June 17 with two Tests in Galle and Colombo ahead of six white-ball fixtures during July.  (IANS)
