Bangladesh have been without a coach since Sri Lankan Chandika Hathurusingha stepped down in October after a successful three-year stint.
West Indies great Courtney Walsh, in charge of the team's fast
bowling unit, was given interim overall responsibility during a T20
tri-nations tournament in Sri Lanka in March.
Walsh is also in charge of the team in the ongoing Twenty20 international series against Afghanistan in India, which Bangladesh have already lost.
The
Bangladesh Cricket Board hired South African Test cricketer Gary
Kirsten as its consultant to help it find the right person for the job.
"Steve
Rhodes was on top of our list. His name was also in Kirsten's list. We
spoke to him face to face today and we are satisfied fully," BCB head
Nazmul Hassan told reporters.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Rhodes, who
played 11 Tests and nine one-day internationals for England, has been
given a two-year contract lasting until the 2020 ICC World Twenty20.
He coached Worcestershire county team in England for 11 years until being sacked last year.
