Former West Indies head coach, Ottis Gibson, has decided not to renew his contract as Bangladesh’s fast-bowling coach.

The 52-year-old completed his two-year contract with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) this month and is set to join Pakistan Super League side Multan Sultans for the start of their campaign on January 27.

The man just following the path of those West Indies mercenaries, Universe Boss, Johnny Bravo, etc, on their quest to eat-a-food without 'national' commitment. Hopefully, his contract allows him to ply his ware across multiple leagues.

All the best Otis.
