Ganguly open to coaching Tigers

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly is open to the idea of coaching Bangladesh. "I will think about it when the issue will come up. No point in thinking about it beforehand," he said at a function at a city hotel. Ganguly is in Bangladesh as a commentator for the current World Twenty20 cricket tournament. "Good coaches need to be brought for all the teams of the subcontinent because a coach plays a crucial role. Bangladesh need a coach who will be handy for them," he said. Bangladesh played their inaugural Test match against India in November 2000. Ganguly led India in the tie which India won by nine wickets. He keeps himself posted about Bangladesh cricket and expected a much better show from them in the global event. "I always want Bangladesh to play well. They soon need to fix their weaknesses. They are not going through a good time," said Ganguly, who is one of the most successful Indian captains of all times. "It is wrong to say that they lack experience. Bangladesh have been playing T20 cricket since its start. They need to nurture players who can perform regularly," he added. The Tigers have been playing T20s since the inception of the shorter format. So Ganguly is reluctant to accept that their poor show in the world event is due to inexperience, according to bdnews24.com.
