Herath is probably going to rejoin Bangladesh, but not as a spin bowling coach.

Former Bangladeshi spin bowling coach Rangana Herath wants to guide the nation's spinners instead of concentrating on the national cricket squad.Recently, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) released job openings for a number of coaching roles that were unfilled when current contracts expired. As previously reported by Cricbuzz, the BCB's coaching staff is about to undergo significant changes. On January 3, they posted job openings for the national cricket team, which included assistant coach for the following two years, strength and conditioning coach, batting coach, pace bowling coach, and analyst.Unexpectedly, no job posting was made for the spin bowling coach post, which remained unfilled following Herath's exit. Similar to this, Shane McDermott's departure left the position of fielding coach unfilled. In the upcoming days, Nic Pothas, the assistant coach already in place, will take on the role of managing the fielding department. As far as Cricbuzz is aware, the BCB has offered Herath a new position that is more like to that of a mentor for spin, where he will work with slow bowlers of all ages instead of coaching spin for the national side.

In contrast to his annual role as the spin coach of the national team, Herath is now required to spend 200 days coaching spinners around Bangladesh, according to the revised offer letter. BCB officials stressed that, given the small number of spinners on the national team (one or two), there are situations in which a spin coach may not be needed. Rather, they want to use Herath to train spinners for the High Performance Unit and age group. The offer letter was acknowledged, and Herath responded, "I will speak with my lawyer and need to go through that, and I will respond as soon as possible." Herath was enthusiastic when discussing the suggested 200-day work year arrangement, saying, "I am pretty keen on working."
