the national team as its batting coach in New Zealand last year. 

The BCB has also announced former New Zealand allrounder Andre Adams as the

the Women's Big Bash League.

Adams represented New Zealand 47 times across formats and had been the New 
Zealand White Ferns bowling coach before joining Bangladesh. In a coaching 
career spanning a decade, he has also worked as the New Zealand Black Caps 
bowling coach in the recent T20 series against Pakistan and as Australia's 
Assistant Coach in the 2022-23 series against South Africa. Adams was head
