"Cricket Australia produced the Coaching Manual on behalf of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) - as one element of the schedule of services provided as part of the 2007-09 BCB-Cricket Australia Agreement", Turner said exclusively.

"The content for the manual was developed by Cricket Australia and the imagery and format of the document was a joint initiative between the two parties.

"Martin Gleeson, International Development Program Coaching Manager was responsible for the project and worked closely with BCB staff, in particular ESM Ashfaq-ul-Islam Bappy, the then Game Education Program Manager.

Islam Bappy has recently taken up a position developing cricket in Myanmar - working on behalf of the Asian Cricket Council".

"Martin and Islam Bappy ensured the Manual had a contemporary feel through use of images of current national team and academy players".

"The Manual features a series notes of acknowledgement including key officials of the BCB and Jamie Siddons, the national team coach", he further added.

"We're delighted that the Manual is to be officially launched to coincide with the start of the new season - and trust that the document serves its intended purpose of inspiring a new generation of coaches in Bangladesh. It is worth pointing out that the BCB has plans to produce a Bengali version of the document to extend the reach of the information contained in the Manual", Turner signed off.
