Whatmore, who has been instrumental in guiding Bangladesh to the Super Eights for the first time, has declared his interest in replacing Greg Chappell, who quit as India coach after their shock exit in the Caribbean.
But Whatmore, also an Australian like Chappell, has upset the Bangladesh Cricket Board with his public declaration of interest in the India job and officials in Dhaka have convened an emergency meeting to discuss the issue.
Bashar, whose team face South Africa on Saturday, said Whatmore has kept his thoughts on his future plans to himself.
"He (Whatmore) has been working very hard with us, and has given no indication that he's not enjoying himself here," said Bashar of the coach whose contract expires next month.
"I don't want to talk too much about his thoughts.
