Mohammad Salahuddin, former fielding coach of the national cricket team and currently working with the GP-BCB National Cricket Academy, has resigned his BCB post on Saturday to join the University Kebangsaan of Malaysia.
\nSalahuddin will work at the university, which is also the national university of Malaysia,\u00a0as the high performance coach on a two-year contract starting from March, 2011.
\nSalahuddin, one of the six level-3 coaches of the country, joined the BCB in 2005 and had been working in various capacities since then. He was the fielding coach of the Tigers until July last year.
\nOne of the most sought-after local coaches by the national players, Salahuddin was instrumental in rectifying the bowling action of Abdur Razzak after he was reported by the umpires.
\n\u2018This is the reality as I have to support my family. It will also\u00a0 give me a chance to explore a new horizon which I love to do always,\u2019 Salahuddin told New Age after submitting\u00a0 his resignation letter to the chief executive officer of the BCB.
\n\u2018I am grateful to all the coaches \u2013 Dav Whatmore, Shaun Williams and Jamie Siddons \u2013 whom I worked with,\u2019 said Salahuddin.
\n\u2018I am also very proud and privileged to work with the best generation of Bangladeshi cricketers. I have had fantastic experience and wonderful memories,\u2019 said Salahuddin.
\nAsked about any regret Salahuddin said he was wrongly branded as specialised fielding coach.
\n\u2018I think it was wrong to give me a tag of fielding coach. I was also looking after the spinners and the batsman during that time,\u2019 said Salahuddin.
\nHead coach Jamie Siddons feels Bangladesh have lost one of the best local coaches with the departure of Salahuddin.\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018Bangladesh have lost one of the best coaches and perhaps the only spin coach,\u2019 said Siddons after Salahuddin met him at the academy ground to say goodbye.
\nSpinner Razzak said he will miss Salahuddin badly, who had coached him since his days at the BKSP.
\n\u2018I will miss him to say the least. I needed his guidance and I am here because of him,\u2019 said Razzak.<\/p>\n
