The Bangladesh Cricket Board has cranked up its search for the senior team coach, with the side's next assignment - a one-off Test against Afghanistan - less than a month away.
The board's shortlist included Mike Hesson, Grant Flower, Paul Farbrace, Russell Domingo and Chandika Hathurusingha, after Andy Flower declined the board's offer a second time.
The BCB may be in a race with other subcontinent boards, with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan also looking for a head coach, and ongoing issues between Hathurusingha and Sri Lanka Cricket.
