We spoke to three persons but Walsh was our first choice,&quot; Hassan said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Though he has no experience in coaching national teams, a legend like him is not always available.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We are hoping he will arrive in Dhaka on Saturday night. I think he is going to be an excellent inclusion for our pace bowling.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Boasting a tally of 519 Test wickets, the 53-year-old former West Indies captain is the first bowler to reach the landmark haul of 500 wickets in the longest format of cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Walsh&#39;s bowling partnership with Curtly Ambrose during their playing days remains a legend in the annals of world cricket.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\/wasim-akram-on-playing-at-lord-s--18959\"><span style=\"color:#FF0000;\">Biggest Regret of Wasim Akram as a bowler.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The BCB president said Walsh&#39;s technical abilities were key to his selection as Bangladesh coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He is a mentor. According to the information we have, what&#39;s bigger than his coaching inexperience is that he is technically very sound.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He knows what to do. Time will tell how much he can give our boys now and how much they can take.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Walsh is the second West Indian to join Bangladesh&#39;s coaching staff after Gordon Greenidge, who guided Bangladesh to the 1999 World Cup after winning the 1997 International Cricket Council (ICC) Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Walsh was very excited over the Bangladesh job.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m thrilled to be joining the BCB (Bangladesh Cricket Board) as their specialist bowling coach. Having watched the Bangladesh cricket from afar over the years, they are a seriously talented bunch of players,&quot; he said on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh had been without a pace bowling coach since late May this year when Heath Streak announced he would not be renewing his contract.<\/p>\r\n",
