Cricket: Stuart Law to quit as Bangladesh coach
Australian cites family reasons for decision.
DHAKA:
Stuart Law will step down as Bangladesh coach in June, citing family reasons to quit one year into a two-year contract.
His announcement came a day after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) planned a short tour to Pakistan later this month.
“My resignation is purely for family reasons,” said Law. “It has nothing to do with the Pakistan tour.”
While Law added that he will complete a year on the job before heading to Australia, he declined to confirm whether he would travel with the team to Pakistan for the solitary One-Day International on April 29 and a Twenty20 the next day - both in Lahore.
Law’s finest moment as coach came last month when Bangladesh defeated India and Sri Lanka on their way to the Asia Cup final in Dhaka, which they lost to Pakistan. The Australian, who played one Test and 54 ODIs for Australia, also served as an assistant coach for Sri Lanka under Trevor Bayliss.
