After roping Mahmudullah in for mentoring and coaching roles, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials insisted that they are looking to bring in Mushfiqur Rahim for similar roles should he be interested.

Whether Mushfiqur will follow Mahmudullah's footsteps following his retirement has turned out to be a topic of discussion after the latter was handed the role of batting coach for Bangladesh A team tour of Australia.

It was not entirely surprising to see Mahmudullah taking up the position considering he was preparing for it for quite some time, and later BCB appointed him as mentor for the Under-19 cricketers.

Faim Sinha, BCB's game development chairman, indicated that they will offer Mushfiqur a similar post after retires from all forms of international cricket. Mushfiqur is currently playing only the Test format while also plying his trade in the domestic circuit.

"Mahmudullah, Mushfiq, those who have played at this level in our country, who played international cricket for so many years at the top level and their caliber, presenting that experience to our players, making that arrangement, is our responsibility," Faim told Cricbuzz recently.

"Of course, I mean, we will definitely say this, if Mushfiq has a coaching interest or interested in working with cricket, with the experience he has of playing international cricket for so many years, or the progress in modern-day cricket that he has witnessed with his own eyes throughout his entire career, we will definitely want Mushfiq to come here and contribute, it will be our failure if we cannot bring him in," he said.

Faim said that they are forming a three-member technical committee to assess the performance of local coaches as he feels this is an area they need to focus massively in the coming days.

"We are forming a three-member technical committee to evaluate the performance of the local coaches and the technical evaluation will be done by our Salahuddin (Mohammad) bhai, our Mizanur Rahman Babul bhai, and Sohel (Islam) bhai," said Faim.

"There will be a workshop for the coaches, where the coaches will be taught KPI implementation, as soon as we implement this straight from that very day an evaluation process will be created for them to evaluate their performances," he said.

"We need to monitor them and those who are senior coaches will monitor the district and divisional coaches, we will train a few such people and bring all the coaches under our BCB under a KPI," he said, adding that they are also planning to raise coaches' salaries.

"As for the salary, the salary grade, we will reshuffle those things a bit, we are planning an initiative which, I don't know if it's right for me to say right now, we will raise the district coaches' salary by at least 70% from what they are getting now, there will be three grades there," he said.

"Upon showing proper qualification, right after entering, they will get a good raise, because our current structure, the salary they are drawing now, it is absolutely insufficient, this is very low, since increments haven't happened properly for a long time, appraisals haven't happened properly, which is why it was stuck in one place for a long time, so we will start from here, by introducing a grading system, we will re-evaluate district coaches, divisional coaches, and central coaches, everyone's, and they will sit in their respective grades according to their qualifications, those who don't have qualification won't say, the freedom will remain with our technical committee, those who will evaluate," he added.
