Former West Indies coach Ottis Gibson has decided that he will not renew his contract as Bangladesh's fast-bowling coach after completing his two-year service with the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
The 52-year-old, a former West Indies fast bowler, is set to join the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultans from the start of their campaign on January 27.
Multan Sultans posted on Twitter on Wednesday about the inclusion of Gibson as their assistant and fast bowling coach.
He joined the Bangladesh team in January 2020, replacing Charl Langeveldt.
Bangladesh have opted for foreign fast-bowling coaches since Champaka Ramanayake in 2009, with the likes of Ian Pont, Shane Jurgensen, Heath Streak, Courtney Walsh, and Langeveldt working with the senior team before Gibson.
"Ottis Gibson didn't want to renew his contract which we accepted," Jalal Yunus, BCB's cricket operations committee chairman, told ESPNcricinfo. "Local coaches will look after the fast-bowling department temporarily. We hope to replace Gibson with another foreign coach shortly."
