Abdur Razzak set to join BCB High Performance Unit as spin bowling coach

Abdur Razzak, a former national spinner, will join the Bangladesh Cricket Board's High Performance Unit in June. Cricbuzz received confirmation of the development on Monday from Razzak, who was a member of the recently disbanded former board headed by Aminul Islam. Razzak stated to this website, "Yes, we had a discussion, and I am expected to join in June." BCB is planning to restructure HP Unit and as a result transferred the national senior assistant coach Mohammad Salahuddin as head of HP, who is expected to take over after the ongoing series against Pakistan. During his time as director of the BCB, Razzak told this website that he wanted to try coaching. He had worked as a member of the national selection panel before joining the board as director. In order to ensure that he is completely prepared for the position of coach, Razzak obtained a Level 3 coaching certificate in January 2026. According to Razzak, "I always wanted to be a coach for a long time and ever since I was playing cricket it was in mind (to be a coach) but later I joined the selection panel but now once this Level three course is successfully completed I will try to come into coaching." "In actuality, this coaches' program is not the only route to completion. Throughout my entire career, whatever has happened, whatever I have learned - there are many things that I have felt are impactful and those things are actually possible to apply," he said. "For instance, suppose a young boy now learns something I learned when I was 30 years old. He stated, "There will be no impact if that boy learns it only when he reaches 30 while playing for our country in the current era." "This is primarily done so that they are at least given a knock beforehand about things about which we may not have been very well informed, such as what needs to be done and what does not, in order to ensure that impact. But there are many things which, in my opinion, if players are informed earlier, if they practice earlier, if they work on them earlier, they can be one or two steps ahead," he said. Razzak said that he learned a lot when he had to change how he bowled, and he now thinks that when he coaches someone, those experiences will be helpful. "Of course, they will be useful, my time when I was remodeling my bowling action. Players are therefore typically favored by coaches. "These cannot be found in any book simply because of the circumstances they have faced throughout their careers," Razzak stated. "Only someone who has faced those situations can say, I have faced this and that scenario. And what I find most interesting is that, those situations become clear later on, after retirement, in that if I had not done that work in a particular way and had done it another way, it could have yielded a different result. He added, "I also want to pass those things on."
