Bangladesh men’s cricket team: Chandika Hathurusinghe sacked for “misconduct” and “breach of employment terms”

Bangladesh have sacked men’s head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe for “misconduct” and “breach of employment terms”.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) said in a statement that Hathurusinghe was put on notice on Tuesday and, after receiving his response on Wednesday, it held an emergency board meeting where his contract was terminated.

Local media say, external a player claimed the Sri Lankan slapped him during the 2023 World Cup in India.

A BCB statement confirming Hathurusinghe’s termination on Thursday said: “After considering all factors, the Board deemed Hathurusinghe’s explanation unsatisfactory and unacceptable and found his action consistent with misconduct and dereliction of duty. His termination comes into immediate effect.”

AFP and India media outlet Cricbuzz cited a news conference where BCB president Faruque Ahmed said: “I really felt bad from the moment I learned about the incident from the newspapers.

“I am not defending anyone but anything might happen in the heat of the moment.

“But you cannot hit a national player. It is not on. This is the right punishment. It should have happened some time ago.”

The BBC has contacted the BCB but has been unable to verify the allegation against Hathurusinghe.
