John Buchanan's right hand man Richard McInnes was likely to take over
as Bangladesh's coach, reports said here today.
McInnes seemed the favourite to succeed Dav Whatmore, having coached Bangladesh
at under-19 and 'A' level between 2003-05.
"I know first-hand what it is like over there and I've
had a lot to do with Bangladesh cricket," McInnes was quoted as saying
by 'Herald Sun'.
"I have had discussions with them after Dav (Whatmore)
resigned (in April) and of course I would love the challenge.
"Their results indicate they are becoming a lot more consistent and other
teams won't take them lightly any more.
"Some of their young players, with some more experience,
will become very good international cricketers." Whatmore, who missed the
vacant Indian job, was a front runner for the Pakistan role along with
two other Australians, former Australian Test bowler Geoff Lawson and
ICC High Performance Manager Richard Done.
