Regarding Salahuddin's appointment, the BCB president Faruque Ahmed said, "Since taking charge, I promised to bring qualified local coaches to the national team. Salahuddin's experience and qualifications make him the ideal candidate, and I believe it's time to involve qualified Bangladeshi coaches in the process."

Salahuddin previously served as assistant coach and fielding coach of the Tigers from 2006 to 2010. He also worked as a specialist coach at the BCB National Cricket Academy from 2010 to 2011.
