After over a decade, a local coach is once again seen with the national team, and Salahuddin will take on an additional responsibility for this series. David Hemp, the regular batting coach, is not accompanying the team for the West Indies tour. Instead, Salahuddin will handle the batting duties against the Caribbean side.
Salahuddin joined the High-Performance unit in May 2023 and was later brought into the national team setup. However, David Hemp has now returned to his previous role, as confirmed by BCB Cricket Operations Manager Shahriar Nafees. This is why Hemp is not traveling with the team for the West Indies series.
