The Bangladesh cricket authorities have swiftly suspended head coach Chandika Hathurusingha due to disciplinary issues, with the suspension taking effect for 48 hours before an immediate termination of his contract. Former West Indies player Phil Simmons has been appointed as the interim coach and will take the helm until the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Hathurusingha, who returned to the role in February, faced scrutiny and skepticism regarding his reinstatement from former players and current cricket president Farooq Ahmed. This recent decision highlights ongoing tensions within the team management as Bangladesh prepares for upcoming international competitions.
