Well done, BCB
Many newspapers reported that this highly experienced coach of Bangladesh cricket team might become Indian coach after the retirement of John Wright.
However all the speculations are now over since Dev has signed a new contract of two more years with the BCB.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. It is learned from a DS report that the salary and all other facilities of Whatmore have been doubled.
I think BCB has done the right thing. Because losing a highly experienced coach like Dev Whatmore only for financial reason would be a foolish idea. Dev has been a great motivator of Bangladesh cricket team for the past two years. Under the supervision of Dev, Bangladesh cricket team has already improved a lot. And the World Cup is just two years away. So to have Dev Whatmore for the 2007 World Cup is really great news for all the cricket fans of this country.
I would like to congratulate BCB for taking this bold decision for the sake of our cricket.
