After becoming the coach of the Bangladesh team, Tait is also very excited. Giving a statement after getting this responsibility, he said,
“This is a good time to join the Bangladesh cricket team, it is like a new era. Recently, the talent of many young fast bowlers of the team has been discussed, who are brilliant. This is international cricket, here every team expects results from its players. My focus is now on strengthening the fast bowling attack of the Bangladesh team.”
Let us tell you that the performance of the Bangladeshi team in the Champions Trophy 2025 was quite embarrassing and since then there have been changes in the team. Tait will now work closely with Phil Simmons, for which he is very excited. Bangladesh recently played a 2-Test series against Zimbabwe, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Now the Bangladesh team will play a two-match T20 series against the UAE, which is to be held this month.
