BCB Terminates Hathurusinghe As Head Coach, Phil Simmons Appointed To The Role
The Bangladesh Cricket Board: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially terminated Chandika Hathurusinghe’s contract as the head coach of the national team, two days after suspending him on grounds of misconduct and breach of employment terms.
The decision, which was announced on Tuesday by BCB president Faruque Ahmed, follows a string of controversies involving Hathurusinghe, bringing an abrupt end to his second tenure as coach.
Hathurusinghe’s dismissal stems from two key allegations: the assault of a Bangladesh cricketer and exceeding the number of leave days specified in his contract. The coach was initially served a show-cause notice to explain his actions, to which he responded the following day. However, his explanation failed to satisfy the BCB, prompting an emergency meeting on Thursday to review the matter in detail.
