The T20 technical consultant of the Bangladesh national cricket team Sridharan Sriram said he is very clear about his role in the Bangladesh team.
Bangladesh has none as the head coach in the T20 squad who are currently in the UAE to take part in this year's Asia Cup.
Russell Domingo, the regular head coach of Bangladesh, is assigned to work with the Test and ODI teams only. Sridharan has recently been appointed as a technical consultant for the Bangladesh T20 squad till the T20 World Cup.
"I'm very clear about my role here," he said at a press conference in Dubai, UAE, on Friday. "My role is to get the resources together. There are skill-coaches with the team and the captain and the team director. I will have to work with all of them and get them together."
Sridharan previously worked with at least two IPL teams and with Australia national team. He believes his experience of working with the high-grade T20 teams will stand him in good stead in his new assignment.
He also said it was a fantastic move from BCB to appoint Shakib Al Hasan as the captain of the Bangladesh T20 team.
"My work will be to bring all the three components together and use my T20 experience of IPL and Australia and bring a strategy where we can use our resources properly," Sridharan added.
Sridharan is the first Indian in many years who got a high role in the Bangladesh team. He is expected to deliver a better result than the other coaches of the Bangladesh team as he has a better understanding of the players and their culture of cricket.
Bangladesh will take on Afghanistan in their first Asia Cup match on August 30, and in their second and last group stage match, they will lock horns with Sri Lanka on September 1.
