Former India spinner Sunil Joshi has been appointed as the spin consultant for Bangladeshi team. "Yes, I will be working as the spin consultant for the Australia series, and will be joining the (Bangladesh) side shortly," Joshi said. With Bangladesh having shown major improvements as a Test team in the last year, the forthcoming two-match series marks a big opportunity for them to register their maiden Test win over Australia. It would be no surprise that they would bank on their strength, which also happens to be Australia's biggest weakness – spin. The Bangladesh Cricket Board had gone all out in search of a spin consultant for the series, including the possibility of having Stuart MacGill in their coaching setup. With the former Australian leg spinner declining to take up the role due to illness, BCB turned towards Joshi, with whom they had earlier tried to initiate talks for the role of a bowling coach.
