In a surprising move, Dav Whatmore has decided to quit as Bangladesh coach. Though, he will manage the Bangladesh side in the upcoming home series against India.

His resignation has come as a shock especially after a decent performance by Bangladesh in the World Cup. It is worthwhile remembering that Bangladesh defeated India and South Africa in the World Cup.

Not so long ago, Whatmore stated his desire to coach the Indian side in the middle of World Cup. This created quite a controversy especially among the officials of Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), who thought that this sort of statement by coach could have a significant bearing on the morale of team.

His name also came into the fray for the coaching of England cricket team but it just turn out to be a media hype. There is no doubt that Whatmore has done a brilliant job with Bangladesh, making them competitive especially in one-day matches and his absence will surely be felt by the youngsters within the team.
