Bangladesh Cricket Board Faces Leadership Change

Chandika Hathurusingha, the head coach of Bangladesh's men's national cricket team, has expressed his desire to complete his contract until 2025, amid ongoing political turmoil following the fall of the Awami League government. With BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon in hiding and potential leadership changes looming, Hathurusingha acknowledged that his position could be at risk but stated he is open to either continuing or stepping down based on the new board's decision. Currently preparing for a two-Test series against Pakistan, he has praised the facilities in Lahore where the team trained prior to their matches. Hathurusingha also extended condolences to those affected by the recent unrest in Bangladesh, hoping for the country's return to stability. The first Test match is set to begin on August 21, with the team facing a strong Pakistani side featuring notable fast bowlers. His commitment and adaptability reflect the challenges faced by the team during this period of uncertainty.
