BCB president Nazmul Hasan told reporters in London Wednesday that, "Each individual has different styles, I am not saying his style was bad. But there are problems when mentalities don’t match with us."
The Englishman had a contract with the BCB till the World T20I 2020 but it surprisingly parted ways with him after the World Cup in England and Wales.
He returned with the team after Bangladesh’s last group stage match against Pakistan.
Rhodes joined as Bangladesh head coach on June 7, 2018. Under his guidance, Bangladesh won three Test matches, 17 ODIs and three T20Is.
