Mohammad Salahuddin addressed mounting criticism about his role within Bangladesh's national cricket team setup during Tuesday's press conference at R. Premadasa Stadium. The senior assistant coach faces multiple allegations suggesting he exercises undue influence over team selection processes and player role assignments. Salahuddin rejected these claims while emphasizing his willingness to coach at any level without personal agenda. He stated his readiness to work with under-13 teams if requested, demonstrating his commitment transcends positional status. The coach maintained that Bangladesh's national team represents public trust rather than personal territory.
Critics have reportedly filed numerous complaints against Salahuddin regarding his involvement in strategic team decisions. The veteran coach challenged accusers to provide concrete evidence supporting their claims after nearly three decades in coaching. He emphasized that unsubstantiated public accusations serve neither transparency nor team improvement. Salahuddin suggested that documented evidence would enable him to address legitimate concerns constructively. The coach expressed confidence in his professional integrity while acknowledging the board's authority to terminate his employment if necessary.
Media pressure has intensified around Salahuddin's position, though he attributes his resilience to mental strength developed over years of experience. He clarified that he neither sought nor requested his current appointment with the national team. The coach argued that favoritism accusations lack logical foundation given the team's recent poor performance record. Salahuddin concluded that struggling teams require merit-based selection rather than preferential treatment to achieve competitive success.
