DHAKA, May 7: Bangladesh's cricket coach Eddie Barlow, who suffered a
brain haemorrhage last month, has "improved a little" and is
able to speak, his wife Cally said on Sunday. She said he had been
given physiotherapy for paralysis of the left side of his body. Barlow will be flown
to Singapore on Monday for an examination at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
He has been in the Combined Military Hospital in Dhaka since collapsing on
April 30. Bangladesh Cricket
Board (BCB) president Saber Hossain Chowdhury said Barlow would be treated
at the Singapore hospital for a week before being flown home to Capetown. The BCB has
appointed Sarwar Imran, a local coach, to lead the team in the Asia Cup in
Dhaka later this month. Barlow, the 59-year-old former South African test opener, was appointed Bangladesh's national coach last year, replacing former West Indies opener Gordon Greenidge.
