The Bangladesh Cricket Board has suspended national team head coach Chandika Hathurusingha and is also reportedly set to remove him from his position. This decision comes after Bangladesh's poor performance against India in a two-Test, three-T20I series. The former Sri Lankan all-rounder took over in January 2023 with the aim of propelling Bangladesh cricket, but under his coaching, the team performed poorly in the ODI and T20 World Cup campaigns. Former West Indies cricketer and coach Phil Simmons will serve as interim coach until the 2025 Champions Trophy.
