With no international cricket and domestic cricket ahead, the three foreign coaches of the Bangladesh national cricket team- Russell Domingo, Ryan Cook and Ottis Gibson have taken a leave and flown back home.

Head coach Russell Domingo and fielding coach Ryan Cook have returned to South Africa while bowling coach Ottis Gibson has flown to the West Indies. They left Dhaka at around 1 am on Saturday.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will arrange a five-team T20 tournament in mid-November. A source from the BCB informed that they will return to Bangladesh a week before the tournament begins. But their return will be delayed if the tournament doesn't happen on time.

Ottis Gibson was the head coach of Mahmudullah XI while Ryan Cook carried out the responsibility of the head coach of the Tamim XI.

After the BCB President's Cup ends, the other foreign coaching staff will fly home as well. 

The cricketers who are currently under the bio-secure bubble will return to respective residents after the final of the BCB President's Cup.
