Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) appointed former Pakistani leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed as the national team's spin bowling coach on Tuesday. The decision seemed like a curious one given the dearth of leg-spinners in the national team and the country itself.

Former Pakistan leg-spinner and World Cup winner Mushtaq Ahmed has been appointed as the spin bowling coach of Bangladesh, a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) press release confirmed on Tuesday.

Mushtaq Ahmed, Pakistan's bowling coach, says legspinner Yasir Shah bowled too quickly on the opening day of the second Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester, and paid the price for it.
