BCB officially terminates contract with Hathurusingha

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has officially terminated the contract of national men's team head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, citing misconduct and breach of employment terms, as per a press release issued on Thursday.

Hathurusingha, who began his second stint with the Tigers in January last year, had five months remaining on his contract.

On Tuesday, the BCB issued him a show-cause notice, suspending the Sri Lankan for 48 hours. Following his response on Wednesday, the board convened an emergency meeting today to review the situation.

Upon review, BCB found Hathurusingha's explanation unsatisfactory and described his actions as “consistent with misconduct and dereliction of duty."
