The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has appointed former West Indies batting and assistant coach Toby Redford as the head coach of the BCB High Performance (HP) unit, informed the BCB through a media release today.

It was also stated in the media release that Radford joined the BCB on a one-year deal starting from August this year. His introduction to the High Performance programme will be through the training camp in Sri Lanka in September-October. The HP team are scheduled to leave for the Island nation in the coming month along with the national team. 

Radford fills in the position that was left vacant since former HP head coach Simon Helmot resigned from his post at the end of 2019. 

Radford, 48, said he was looking forward to his new assignment with excitement. 

"I am delighted to be appointed as Head Coach of High Performance for the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Bangladesh has many talented young cricketers and it will be a privilege to work with, and help develop them in their journey to consistent success at international level," Radford was quoted as saying in the media release.
