There has been a lot of speculations about the successor of Dav Whatmore, who will quit the job after the ongoing home series against India, but Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was not ready to say anything as a precautionary measure.

However, it was learnt that the BCB high-ups have already made up their minds about the possible candidates for the hot seat. According to sources, Jamie Siddons, a Cricket Australia assistant coach and performance analyst, is almost certain to get the nod.

But BCB are waiting for a reply from former India coach John Wright as well. It was learnt that the New Zealander has asked for time to give his decision. BCB will take the final decision only after getting response from the former New Zealand captain.

Richard McInnes is also in the list as an assistant coach but it will only be decided after finalising the head coach. The sources said that the board will take the decision about the Australian after consulting with the head coach.

BCB is even ready to appoint a local coach for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour next month if Wright wants to take more time.
