Dhaka, June 02 (UNB) – Former coach of Pakistan National Cricket Team Richard Pybus arrived in Dhaka Saturday evening to take the charge of Bangladesh National Cricket Team.

He is expected to start his job from tomorrow (Sunday) as Bangladesh team   flies for Zimbabwe on June 12 to play in this month’s Tri-nation T20 Tournament involving South Africa, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.

Englishman Richard Pybus (47), was appointed Bangladesh head coach for a two-year term on May 30, in place of Australian Stuart Law who resigned in last April.
He will be Bangladesh's third coach in a year as Law had been in the post for only nine months after succeeding another Australian Jamie Siddons in July last year.
Pybus hasn't been in charge of an international side since 2003 but had flown to Bangladesh earlier last month to appear in interview for the post.

He arrived in Dhaka on May 10 and spent the subsequent day holding meetings with BCB president AHM Mustafa Kamal as well as some of the board directors and a handful of national players.

Pybus, who took up coaching in his mid-twenties, was appointed Pakistan coach for their 1999 World Cup campaign before returning to the South African provincial side. He coached Pakistan again until the 2003 World Cup and had stints with Titans and Cape Cobras (South Africa), and Middlesex. He was with Cobras until March 2012 and was also linked to the South Africa job last year.
