Taskin eager to hone white-ball skills under Tait

Bangladesh's pace spearhead Taskin Ahmed praised newly appointed fast bowling coach Shaun Tait.

Taskin said Tait's addition will help the team immensely due to his exposure to modern-day T20 cricket.

"He was a very good fast bowler and played a lot for Australia. The best part is, we have a lot of T20 cricket this year and he played T20s in the modern era and has experience in major T20 events," Taskin said.

"He must have some good insights into the game. Hopefully, his experience will help us," he said.

"Actually, when you're in the national set-up, a coach can help with game awareness and some technical aspects, but bowlers mostly have to coach themselves," Taskin said.

"However, when you have a big personality like Tait around, things become easier and hopefully his inclusion will benefit us," he explained.

Taskin is currently recovering from an Achilles injury and is targeting the Sri Lanka series in June for his comeback.
