Law only commenced his tenure in April this year and made an immediate mark by leading the USA to the Super 8s stage of this year's ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
The 55-year-old coach recommends focusing on the youth to steer Bangladesh to a level of excellence.
When your opponents rest key performers from the series in a dead rubber game, how fruitful are even positive results you get from the game? That is exactly what Bangladesh were left with after winning the third and final T20I against USA on Saturday.
As the series win was locked, USA rested key players – captain Monank Patel, opener Steven Taylor, all-rounder Harmeet Singh and fast bowler Ali Khan – to put their bench to the test with the T20 World Cup fast approaching.
Law had roles as head coach of both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at the start of last decade and a stint with the West Indies in 2018, before more recent efforts with Afghanistan and the Bangladesh Under 19 team at this year's ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup.
An agonising five-run defeat against Pakistan saw Bangladesh bow out of the ongoing ICC Under-19 World Cup from the Super Sixes on Saturday. The reigning Asian Champions had high hopes of winning the title for the second time since 2020, and it seemed as if a semifinal berth was almost in their grasp. The Daily Star’s Mazhar Uddin caught up with Stuart Law, the coach of the Bangladesh Under-19 side, as he reflected on the things that went wrong, takeaways for the young Tigers from the tournament in South Africa among a few other topics. The excerpts of the interview are as follows:
Fast forward to 2024, Bangladesh are once again chasing a title-winning victory in South Africa, with emphasis on the process over the outcome of the past.
Stuart Law, who had served as head coach of the Bangladesh national team in 2011-2012, was appointed as under-19 team’s head coach, and yesterday he spoke to the media during a press conference.
South Africa will test Bangladesh's upward trajectory across formats, but given how they brushed aside India and Pakistan, there's no reason to believe they can't scalp another high-ranked side at home.
