We are confident that his vast experience will help our team, and our batsmen in particular,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangladesh will be keenly looking forward to working with him on an immediate basis especially after their recent failures in the just concluded two-match Test series against the West Indies.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The visitors lost both the Tests inside three days and it was largely due to the failure of their batsmen to apply in testing conditions.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
