The fallout from Bangladesh's woeful tour of Australia has deepened with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirming that they will be reviewing just about everything.

Coach Jamie Siddons looks set to receive a slap on the wrist at the very least after the comments he made about captain Mohammad Ashraful, while the positions of coaches and players will be assessed.

In the wake of the 3-0 one-day whitewash at the hands of Australia, Siddons was quoted as saying of his skipper: "He's been given a lot of positions in the order and he's still failing. It's disappointing for him, being the leader of the team.

"If it were anyone else he wouldn't be in the side. He needs to start making runs. He knows that. We talk to him about that all the time. I'm not giving out any secrets ... it's getting close."

When asked how long Ashraful would be given to show his worth to the side, Siddons said: "I don't know, it's not my decision. But he needs to make runs. For himself he needs to make runs and for his leadership he needs to make runs."

This has drawn criticism from BCB cricket operations committee chairman Gazi Ashraf Hossain, who said the board would verify exactly what had been said before acting.

"But the fact remains that a coach should not talk publicly like that, because he can only give a recommendation to the board," Hossain told the Dhaka-based Daily Star.

"It is indecent and his comments may have increased the pressure on the captain."

Hossain's criticism of Siddons extended to the side's performances with the bat, which were the greatest problem during the recent tour.

"The problem was that we haven't had dependable batsmen in the top-order and that was why we appointed Siddons, who has a good knowledge of batting, as the head coach," Hossain said. "But unfortunately the batting standard has gone down.

"It was expected that the performance graph would improve but it didn't happen, so we can't accept it. I think it's about time the board should reassess the whole situation and take a tough decision, even if my role is questioned."

Siddons also blamed the lack of infrastructure in Bangladesh for the national side's continued poor showings, but Hossain insists the board are doing everything they possibly can to provide a platform for the players.

"The BCB is trying its level best to improve and undoubtedly we have ensured expensive facilities for our national cricketers," he said.

"One can't improve everything overnight and I must agree we have to improve our domestic structure. But one cannot make that as an excuse for the disastrous showing in Australia.

"I don't think there is any need to spend so much money on anybody for this kind of performance."

Bangladesh's next assignment is a home series against New Zealand, and Hossain confirmed that while Ashraful's position will be reviewed he is unlikely to be replaced, while senior players may be brought back into the squad.

"He is even struggling with his own position in the team, but we hardly have any choice to replace him ahead of the next home series against New Zealand in October. But still we have to think about the issue seriously."
