Russell Domingo, Bangladesh’s head coach, steps down. The South African did not finish his term, which stretched through the 2023 World Cup.
Russell Domingo, Bangladesh’s head coach, resigned with immediate effect on Wednesday. His decision unavoidable after Bangladesh suffer a 0-2 Test defeat at home against India, adding to the board’s pressure. The South African cricket coach did not finish his contract, which stretched through the 2023 World Cup.
Domingo traveled to South Africa for a Christmas break following the hosts’ underwhelming performance in the recently concluded Test series.

Jalal Yunus, cricket operations chairman of BCB hinted that the national team is already looking for a replacement.
“We need a coach with an impact and influence on the team,” Yunus said after the Dhaka Test. “You will notice some changes soon. We are trying. We want a very strong team that can play quality and highly competitive teams. Went close to beating India but it is tough to beat this team. We beat England and Australia on this ground, but India is a tougher side in these conditions.
“We are following a long-term strategy, not a short-term one. It is a three to four-year plan, and if revisions are necessary (to accomplish those goals), they will be made “Nazmul said to reporters.
Russell Domingo succeeded Steve Rhodes as Bangladesh manager in 2019. After the World Cup that year, Rhodes fired from his position.
Bangladesh’s excellent results under Domingo include home T20I series wins over Australia and New Zealand, as well as Test wins in New Zealand and ODI series victories in South Africa.
