Sri Lanka great Arjuna Ranatunga could soon be assigned as a part time batting coach of the Tigers, according to a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) official.

BCB general secretary Mahbub Anam told the reporters, who were present during the prize-giving ceremony of National Cricket League, that they are in talking terms with the former Lankan captain.

BCB are also desperately seeking the service of a specialist bowling coach for the national side.

He also informed that they will finalise the head coach of the national team during this month. But this decision also hinges on the selection of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) for their head coach as one of the candidates, Australian Jamie Siddons, is in the list of both SLC and BCB.
