Donald is replacing West Indies’ Ottis Gibson, who left Bangladesh in January after working with the side for two years.

Donald, 55, will join the Bangladesh side in South Africa during their tour to his native country in March-April.

The Bangladesh team will reach South Africa on March 13 to play three one-day internationals and two Test matches.

Allan Donald has just finished a stint as head coach of the Knights in South Africa.

“A very special day for me,” Donald said in a video message posted by the BCB.

“I’ll also be working closely with Russell Domingo, who I know really really well from my days with the Proteas,” he said.

“I know he has been working hard with the Bangladesh team and I am looking forward to working with the Bangladesh fast bowlers. A young talented bunch, there’s no doubt.”
