The Bangladesh Cricket Board has officially terminated the contract of national team head coach Chandika Hathurusingha on grounds of misconduct and breach of employment terms.
Hathurusingha, who began his second tenure with the Bangladesh team in January 2023, had five months remaining on his contract.
Last Tuesday, the BCB served a notice to Hathurusingha, seeking an explanation.
Following the receipt of his response Wednesday, an emergency meeting of the board was convened Thursday to review the situation.
After considering all factors, the board deemed Hathurusingha's explanation unsatisfactory and unacceptable and found his action consistent with misconduct and dereliction of duty.
His termination comes into immediate effect.
