Former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori and former South African seamer Charl Langeveldt had been appointed team's full-time bowling consultants, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have announced on Saturday. The former left-arm spinner Vettori's contract is valid until next year's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia and he will be available to the team for around 100 days during their preparation. The 40-year-old has held several high-profile head coaching roles in T20 format, including Indian Premier League side Royal Challengers Bangalore and Big Bash League's side Brisbane Heat. On the other hand, Langeveldt will join as team's full-time pace bowling coach.

Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to expand from eight teams to 10. The increase in the number of teams will not be a first time as 10 sides already competed in 2011 with the addition of the Kochi and Pune franchises. "We discussed increasing the number of teams but it was an informal discussion. Anyway, the teams don't have the authority to decide on the matter, the BCCI will have to take a call but we are open to the idea," a team official, who attended the meeting in London, told PTI. "There was a discussion but it was done at an informal level. There is no concrete plan as of now on how to go about it. More teams will lead to more games which could mean a bigger scheduling window. So, all of that needs to be worked out," said the official. 10 IPL team is good idea !! #IpL2020 — Rajkumar Sekar (@I_Raj13) 14 July 2019 #IPL2020 may have 10 teams ..
