Coach Kamal in town

SPORTS REPORTER
Former Pakistan cricketer Mohsin Kamal arrived in town yesterday to coach Bangladesh.
The 39-year-old paceman signed a one-year agreement with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) immediately after arriving in the city along with Ali Zia, the little known Pakistani who will act as an assistant coach-cum-trainer of the tenth Test playing nation.
This was the first major assignment for Kamal, who had earlier worked as a bowling coach of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
"This is my first mission as a national coach and I'm excited to take up the challenge," said Kamal on his arrival at the Zia International Airport in the morning.
Kamal is the sixth foreign coach of Bangladesh and the second Pakistani at the helm after Mudassar Nazar, who had a brief stint way back in 1991.
Outlining his plans for the Test babes, Kamal said that he would concentrate on injecting the selfbelief into his boys so that they start to think that they are capable of
winning matches.
"My job will be to help them raise their mental toughness so that they can start thinking of winning," said Kamal, who played nine Test matches in between 1983 to 95 and captured 24 wickets at an average of 34.25.
Asked to comment on his predecessor (Australian) Trevor Chappell, who lost the job last month after working with the national team for almost a year, Kamal answered like a true diplomat.
"He is a good coach. He tried his best. But it's success that counts at the end of the day. My target will be to improve the ranking of Bangladesh," Kamal said, who also played 19 one-day internationals for Pakistan.
The tall right-armer seemed to have done good homework before coming in to Dhaka.
"I have seen a number of Bangladesh matches in television. Besides, I have also talked with Javed Miandad and Mudassar Nazar to know more about Bangladesh cricket", said Kamal.
Kamal will, however, have to wait for some time to get his boys together on completion of the Premier League. His first assignment will be in July when Bangladesh tour Sri Lanka to play two Tests and three one-day internationals.
But his deputy Ali Zia has already been assigned to coach the Bangladesh A team, which will feature in a three-national limited-over tournament in Malaysia from May 20 to 26. Former national cricketer Ishtiaque Ahmed has been named as the manager of the Malaysia-bound A team.
