Jamie Siddons talked about his decision to step down from the role of batting coaching and said that he feels his best value will be working with the next generation.

IPL 2023 | India National Cricket Team | Chennai Super Kings (CSK) | Delhi Capitals (DC) | Gujarat Titans (GT) | Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) | Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) | Mumbai Indians (MI) | Punjab Kings (PBKS) | Rajasthan Royals (RR) | Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) | SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) 

Taking to his Facebook account, he said: “I’m back in Dhaka after a short break. I won’t be working with the National team anymore as I feel my best value to BCB is working with the next generation to ensure the players just outside of the team are being well looked after and are improving each day in preparation for their next opportunity to play for their country.” 

“I love coaching the skills of the game to young players and so the BCB and I have made it happen. The glory is being with the National team and I love that, but most of the skill development, improvement and training takes place in the nets and heat when grinding it out in the nets at Mirpur. Looking forward to working with our future players with the A-Team and the Tigers,” Jamie Siddons stated.

Jamie Siddons is now expected to help Bangladesh A during their upcoming home Test series against West Indies A, which will be played from May 11 to June 2.
