BCB accepts Halsall’s resignation

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) yesterday accepted the resignation of assistant coach Richard Halsall, putting an end to his four years tenure with the Bangladesh national team.

Halsall’s resignation is all but confirmed when he was not part of the team management during Bangladesh’s tour in Sri Lanka for the Nidahas Trophy Tri-nation T20 international series. The coach who was born in Zimbabwe was appointed as the fielding coach of the team before he became the assistant coach.

After the resignation of head coach Chandika Hathurusingha, he looked after the team in tri-nation one-day tournament and Test and T20 series against Sri Lanka.

Though it is believed that the board didn’t want him to continue in the post after some senior players complained against him, the BCB itself in a statement said, Halsall cited his family reasons for his resignation from the post.

BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said: “Richard has officially submitted his resignation. We understand that his decision is from family considerations and he wishes to stay close to home especially to be by the side of his ailing father. The Board respects his priorities and has accepted the resignation.
