Rajshahi Kings have appointed Daniel Vettori as their head coach for the 2018 and 2019 BPL. This will be the first time the former New Zealand captain will be working in Bangladesh. Vettori is already the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Brisbane Heat and Middlesex in the domestic T20 leagues. Earlier, Sarwar Imran was Rajshahi's coach in 2016 and 2017 seasons. Rajshahi were the runners-up in 2016, but finished second last in the 2017 season.
