Bangladesh sacks cricket coach Hathurusingha, Simmons to take over

THE BANGLADESH Cricket Board (BCB) has suspended men’s team head coach Chandika Hathurusingha due to his inappropriate conduct during last year’s ODI World Cup in India.

Hathurusingha, the former Sri Lanka all-rounder under whom Bangladesh recently endured a forgettable tour of India where they were whitewashed in both the Test and T20I series, will be sacked and replaced by former West Indies player Phil Simmons.
