Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hasan Papon clarified the matter, not as a coach, Sriram is being added as a technical consultant. Domingo remains as head coach. However, certainly, Domingo will not be the instructor of Shakib-Mushfiqur in the Asia Cup and World Cup of T20 format. He is now busy with Test and ODI formats. In one word, Russell Domingo is no longer the coach of the T20 team.

Khaled Mahmud Sujon has answered the question of why Sriram is being included instead of Domingo. The national team’s team director’s explanation – “Domingo cannot match the pace, nature, and philosophy of the T20 format. BCB does not like his thoughts and plans about T20. Therefore, India’s T20 specialist Sriram has been appointed as the technical director of the national team in this format for the next three months.”

Khaled Mahmud Sujon said, ‘Look, every person has different thoughts. My philosophy or yours is different. So does every coach. To be honest, Domingo’s philosophy may not match ours. It is known to all, it is understood that we are not able to perform in the T20 format. So what is the problem if there is a different philosophy for the country, for cricket? Let’s see, what happens with this new thinking. We can do a lot of experiments in this format. But maybe we can do something like that in test matches too. Look, even after playing Tests for so many years, we are not able to be stable in Test cricket.”

In other words, BCB wants to see how Shakib-Riyadh plays on Sriram’s advice. The former captain of the national team said, ‘Since Sriram works a lot with the T20 team, he will have some inputs. As he is from Asia, our culture is similar. Conversation or communication will also be easy. We will see a change after his arrival.’ But is Domingo being released from the post of T20 coach? And how will the head coach of the Bangladesh team take the matter?

Sujon said, “Domingo is a professional coach. As long as I worked with him, he seemed to be quite positive as a person. I don’t think it will be a big deal.’
