The former South Africa coach in Dhaka on Wednesday to attend the interview. However, it is not clear which position of the Bangladesh national team’s coaching staff he has applied for.
Domingo, who led South Africa to the semi-finals of the 2014 World Twenty20 and 2015 World Cup, is scheduled to leave Dhaka on Thursday.
After the departure of coach Steve Rhodes following a disastrous World Cup, the position lies vacant, but the Tigers have so far appointed former South Africa pacer Charl Langeveldt as the bowling coach and former New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori as the spin coach.
Domingo arrived this morning and will leave tomorrow. The BCB are interviewing him primarily for the developments squad. Since the Bangladesh head coach position is currently vacant following Steve Rhodes's departure, BCB may hand Domingo the reigns of the national team for the time being.
Domingo took over as the coach of South Africa T20 side in 2012 before he replaced Gary Kirsten in the remaining formats in 2013. He was in charge of the Proteas till 2017 before Otis Gibson took over in 2017.
BCB has already appointed former South Africa pacer Charl Langeveldt as the pace bowling coach of Bangladesh while Daniel Vettori was appointed the spin coach.
