Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons is keen on the Tigers playing international cricket next month after yesterday’s washout in Chittagong. The current series against Zimbabwe is the last international fixture Bangladesh have ahead of the 2011 World Cup.
The Tigers head coach, who returned from Brisbane on Friday night after wife Kim gave birth to his second child Toby, said he would ask the board to find an opponent, though that could be the hard part of the bargain.
“I’m pushing for an international series at the end of January or early February. I will discuss this, and a whole range of other issues, on December 14 when I meet the board,” said Siddons.
“It is aimed to get all the players together before the World Cup. But I am not sure if we will get a team at that time,” added the 46-year-old Australian.
Though the proposed one-day series may remain a “proposed” one, Siddons is pinning his hopes on the Premier League later this month to give his charges the much-needed match practice ahead of the World Cup.
