Papon seeks to clear the air with Shane

Meeting with outgoing coach next week

Sports Reporter
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon has said that the BCB, in its meeting with coach Shane Jurgensen - set to take place next week - will reassert that the BCB had no plans of removing Jurgensen from his post.
Jurgensen, irked by comments -made by certain board directors to the media - regarding the need for a new head coach, submitted his resignation this past Monday. The BCB is yet to accept it and Papon, hopes to get a clearer picture of Jurgensen's reasoning in the upcoming meeting.
"If it is the case that he (Jurgensen) is feeling insecure then we will give him the reassurance that there was no plan made to send him out and that he can stay. He might have thought that we were going to announce his departure during the board meeting last week and that may have led to the resignation. It is after all, a matter of respect," Papon told The Daily Star.
"If that is not the case and he has made up his mind, then we obviously will not force him to stay. He can coach the team till the India series in June and in the meanwhile we will be looking for coaches. We might even appoint a local coach," he added.
Papon, however, admitted that it would be difficult to find a foreign coach to adjust to the requirements of the BCB.
"I personally feel that finding a good coach will be difficult, especially in our country. Specialist coaches can come here for brief periods and go back. However, staying here and continuously coaching, that's a different aspect," explained Papon.
Furthermore, the president criticised the statements made by some of the board directors to the media.
"Those statements should not have been made. We did not have any plans to find a new coach and that is why it should not have been said. Because of that statement, there is now a gap with no prospective coaches," said Papon.
Finding specialised players
Jurgensen's departure is not the only worry that is keeping the president busy. Papon, who received the World T20 performance reports from the physio and coach, is yet to discuss them with the board and take actions accordingly.
"According to the physio's report, almost every player had some sort of an injury and that is what they played with. Injury was a major concern. The coach's report pointed to some vital aspects. One is that players morale
becomes significantly low after losing a game,
"The report also stated that they just played too many games before the tournament which did not give the coach a sufficient amount of time to prepare them for T20s," said Papon.
Having received the reports, Papon hopes to make long-term plans based on them. One avenue that he desperately wants to pursue is finding specialised players for each format.
"Personally I think that we don't have too many good players. If you see the last few months, apart from Shakib (Al Hasan) there was no other bowler who was threatening. We need to find more specialist players,
"Take for instance, Mominul Haque. He is a greatTest batsman, but I feel thatT20 cricket will spoil his game. So, when it comes to T20 cricket, we need to find at least four specialist players," said Papon.
According to Papon, changes in the culture of domestic cricket are also required in order to successfully implement the plan.
"We have to come out of the concept that only a couple of super-stars can get us to domestic championships. A larger group of players need exposure, something which will help them when they play international cricket," said Papon.
