Bangladesh's bowling coach Ian Pont takes decision that he will not renew his contract with BCB(Bangladesh Cricket Board). Pont had signed on in September 2010 to coach the team for a specific period of time. Pont confirmed that he will be returning home on April 1 to coach at the Mavericks Cricket Institute academy, which he founded. "I came came on a short-term contract," Pont said in his statement. "But for me to make a long-term commitment and relinquish my UK coaching business, I needed a more viable arrangement. We couldn't come to any agreement on that subject." Under Pont's coaching, Bangladesh's bowling site improved. He is really a good one after Champaka(Previous bowling coach of Bangladesh) .

Despite deciding not to renew his contract, Pont would like to   stay involved with Bangladesh cricket in some capacity so he can help develop the next generation of fast bowlers. "I feel this is a vital ingredient for replicating what Sri Lanka has been able to do, for example, in the same sort of time frame," Pont said. "Developing the pace bowling unit is going to make the Bangladesh cricket far more competitive." Now BCB need to find a better bowling coach for Bangladesh Cricket Team.
