The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has roped in seasoned fielding coach James Pamment on a long-term deal that will run through to the 2027 ODI World Cup. The 56-year-old will begin his stint with the Bangladesh national team ahead of the upcoming two-match Test series against Zimbabwe later this month.
Pamment, who brings with him years of high-level coaching experience, expressed his enthusiasm about the new challenge. "I am really excited about the opportunity to get involved with a very talented Bangladesh side. I am eagerly looking forward to joining the players and the backroom staff ahead of the Zimbabwe series," Payment was quoted by ESPNCricinfo as saying.
Pamment takes over a role last held by assistant coach Nic Pothas, who was instrumental in improving Bangladesh's fielding standards before parting ways with the team earlier this year. The BCB has witnessed a revolving door of fielding coaches in recent times, including stints by Ryan Cook and Shane McDermott.
