Academy players keen to learn: Lawson

Dhaka, July 16 (bdnews24.com) - GP-BCB Academy specialist bowling coach Geoff Lawson thinks that the team's players are very eager to learn.

"The Academy team's players are young and inexperienced, but they are learning fast. But they still have a lot to learn," he told bdnews24.com at the National Cricket Academy ground on Saturday.

The Aussie is applying self-assessment methods for the improvement of the players.

"They are questioning and looking for the answers themselves. My job is to help them getting the right result."

"The players are full of energy. I am enjoying my time with them. They have no problem taking a step back for technical reasons," he said.

"They are thinking about the pointers, trying to perceive their problems and set them right on the field," he added.

The former Pakistan coach advised against changing a bowler's action. He is pointing out small flaws and telling them to have freedom of thought.

"It is the players who will play and it is their decisions that will make the difference. The opportunity is there in practice matches," he suggested.

Lawson is also impressed with Bangladesh A bowlers. "These bowlers have experience. They know what they have to do."

"We are looking into some tactical issues. If these are overcome it will help them," he said.

The former Australian cricketer coached Pakistan from July 2007 to October 2008.
