The 44-year-old Domingo, who will take charge on August 21 has been appointed for a period of two years. He was previously the head coach for South Africa for a period of four years from 2013-2017.

Domingo said his focus would be on developing the next generation of players from the country. “I have followed Bangladesh’s progress with keen interest and I am extremely excited to assist the team in reaching the goals that they are capable of."

On July 8th, Bangladesh announced that they will be parting ways with Englishman Steve Rhodes after just one year in charge. He was initially signed on to be the head coach until the T20 World Cup in Australia next year but both the parties decide to mutually terminate the contract one year earlier. This decision came on the back of a World Cup campaign which saw Bangladesh end up at the 8th spot after initially promising to be a dark horse for the tournament.
