BCB director favours Simmons as the national team’s head coach
After a board meeting, Bangladesh Cricket Board director Nazmul Abedeen Fahim wants Phil Simmons to continue as the head coach of Bangladesh’s national cricket team. Simmons’ contract extension is one of the board meeting highlights that occurred on Monday, March 4, 2025.
‘We are satisfied with them, so we will get in touch with them for renegotiation,’ the director said in an interview.
Both BCB’s president and director approved of Simmons’ performance, hence, the coach’s high chance of being reinstated in the national team.
‘We are hopeful of reaching a mutual understanding with them. We are thinking of extending their contracts till the 2027 World Cup,’ the director added.
In October last year, Simmons was appointed as the head coach of Bangladesh’s national cricket team, and during his four-month stint, Bangladesh only won a single series. They also had no luck in the Champions Trophy as India, New Zealand, and Pakistan destroyed the team.
This led to Bangladesh cricket fans expressing disappointment towards the head coach. Despite the hate he received, BCB still approved of Simmons.
‘I have seen him from up close. I am convinced he will do well with the Bangladesh team,’ Fahim stated reassuringly.
