It is now uncertain whether the Bangladesh team will be able to prepare under a new coach for the demanding tour of New Zealand in December. And in that case the Tigers should depend on interim coach Shaun Williams, who is going to receive an extra amount of US $ 2000 for the Twenty20 assignment.

The last committee had officially announced a short list of candidates for the future national coach and they taken the decision to start the process from the end of July by inviting Australian Jamie Siddons, John Harmer and Zimbabwean Dave Houghton for presenting their proposal.

But the ad-hoc committee in its first meeting on August 1 has decided to add more option in this regard but they are yet to set their 'course of action' about the most important appointment. The reality is that Bangladesh need a high quality coach in charge ahead of the most daunting task in New Zealand as the Tigers had desperately missed a high-profile coach like Dav Whatmore in the recently concluded forgettable tour of Sri Lanka.

"I feel that a new national coach is desperately required ahead of the New Zealand trip but I am not sure whether it would be possible or not. We are yet to start the process but I am hopeful that it will be initiated by next week. Within a short time we will discuss the important issue in the working committee," said Gazi Ashraf Hossain Lipu, chairman of the cricket operations committee.

The former national skipper was also doubtful about whether it would be possible to add more names in the list within the short period of time.

"Let us start the job first than I can only say whether it would be possible for us to add more names in the list. But what I can say is that it is not so easy. And the most important thing is that even you can't give assurance about three names," he added.

Lipu was not ready to clear their intention about what kind of coach they would like to appoint for the national team but it was learnt that they are not in favour of a high-profile appointment like Dav Whatmore.

What they believe is that a mid-level coach would be better for a team like Bangladesh as they think that a high-profile coach quickly loses his motivation when things don't go his way.

And that is the reason they are thinking not to go searching for a high-profile coach, rather they are looking to settle a deal with Zimbabwean Dave Houghton.

But as regards their experience Bangladesh has seen that a mid-level coach like Shaun Williams, who has been working as the interim coach since Whatmore left the job, could be better for age levels or academy sides, not for the national team.

A national team coach deserves more qualities than only to solve individual player's problem.
