As the Bangladesh squad headed for Chittagong to complete their preparations for their forthcoming tour of England, the local newspapers were reporting that Dav Whatmore, the coach, had agreed a two-year extension to his contract.
Whatmore's existing deal expires on April 30, and sources in Dhaka claimed that he had signed the new agreement at the weekend. He left the final training session in Dhaka early, with rumours suggesting that he was holding final talks with the Bangladesh board.
The squad have been concentrating on fitness while in Dhaka, and the real work will start in the nets at Chittagong. There are, however, some injury worries, although board officials said that those concerned should be fit for the tour.
Bangladesh leave for England on May 7: they will play two Tests and take part in the triangular NatWest Series, which also involves Australia.
