McInnes favourite to succeed Whatmore: Reports

MELBOURNE, June 21: John Buchanan's right hand man Richard McInnes was likely to take over as Bangladesh's coach, reports said on Thursday. McInnes seemed the favourite to succeed Dav Whatmore, having coached Bangladesh at under-19 and 'A' level between 2003-05.
"I know first-hand what it is like over there and I've had a lot to do with Bangladesh cricket," McInnes was quoted as saying by Herald Sun.
"I have had discussions with them after Dav (Whatmore) resigned (in April) and of course I would love the challenge. Their results indicate they are becoming a lot more consistent and other teams won't take them lightly any more."
"Some of their young players, with some more experience, will become very good international cricketers."
Whatmore, who missed the vacant Indian job, was a front runner for the Pakistan role along with two other Australians, former Australian Test bowler Geoff Lawson and ICC High Performance Manager Richard Done.
