Incidentally, he quit as Bangladesh head coach in October this year, according to a espncricinfo report.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe 49-year-old Hathurusingha worked with New South Wales before joining Bangladesh. During his tenure, Bangladesh made steady progress particularly in ODI cricket winning against India, Pakistan and South Africa.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nUnder him, Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka for the first time in Test cricket and also enjoyed Test wins over England and Australia.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut his stint was cut short after a dismal tour of South Africa, although he was contracted till the 2019 World Cup.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThere were concerns that Hathurusingha will not be able to coach Sri Lanka in Bangladesh as he was contractually bound to give three months notice before taking up another assignment.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe former Sri Lanka all-rounder is expected to forgo one month&#39;s salary from BCB and SLC is believed to be compensating him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>IANS<\/p>\r\n",
