The former West Indies bowler had joined the Bangladesh team in January 2020, replacing Charl Langeveldt. He was also the only voice from the establishment to urge senior player Mashrafe Mortaza to retire from international cricket.
Under his coaching, Bangladesh fast bowlers took 13 wickets in the Mount Maunganui Test against New Zealand. Ebadot Hossain, who took 6 for 46 in the second innings, is one of the quicks who has benefited from Gibson’s tenure as bowling coach.
