Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto said he has no knowledge of former coach Chandika Hathurusingha assaulting a cricketer during the ODI World Cup in India in 2023.
BCB found Hathurusingha's explanation unsatisfactory and described his actions as "consistent with misconduct and dereliction of duty."
The 61-year-old Trinidadian has signed a deal with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that will see him in charge until the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year.
Although none of the allegations against Hathurusingha are neither based on recent incident and nor directly linked to the Tigers’ on-field performance, Faruque claimed that their stern decision was based on re-assessing the reports given by a three-member special committee -- formed on November 29 last year -- tasked with scrutinising the underperformance of the Tigers in the mega event held in India.
The board said in a statement that the 61-year-old former West Indies batter Simmons has reached an agreement to work with BCB until the ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan next year.
Bangladesh’s Test temperament is often a cause for debate when looking at some of the batters’ approach in the longest format. Liton Das came under fire in the recent Sri Lanka series for charging a fast bowler when the team was already in trouble. This time too in Kanpur, barring one or two innings, the level of Test temperament needed to survive in international cricket was missing from the Tigers.
Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha admitted that the gulf in skill and quality between his side and India led to the crushing defeat seven-wicket defeat in the second and final Test at the Green Park stadium in Kanpur.
It was an interesting setting for the first Bangladesh press conference at the Green Park Kanpur stadium press conference room today, which was attended by head coach Chandika Hathurusingha ahead of the second Test in Kanpur.
Bangladesh cricket team head coach Chandika Hathurusingha is set to arrive in Dhaka tonight at 11:30 PM ahead of the team’s upcoming tour of India.

Will the success against Pakistan put Faruque in a difficult position regarding the decision to remove Hathurusingha from his role?
