DHAKA: Bangladesh cricket authorities said Friday they have sacked the national team´s assistant coach Ruwan Kalpage after he failed to report for duty.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had asked Sri Lankan Kalpage to join the national team´s conditioning camp by August 16 ahead of a home ****** against England.
"We set a deadline for him to join, but he did **t respond," BCB chief executive ******r Nizamuddin Chowdhury told AFP.
"Therefore we decided to terminate his contract," Chowdhury said.
Kalpage had reportedly expressed concerns over his safety in Bangladesh following an attack by Islamist extremists on a Dhaka cafe last month that left 22 people, mostly foreigners, dead.
The country has been reeling from months of gruesome killings of religious mi**rities and secular activists, with many of the attacks claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group.
Two other Sri Lankans -- head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe and fitness trainer Mario Villavarayan -- as well as Zimbabwean fielding coach Richard Halsall have already joined the camp, after the BCB provided them with armed security guards.
Kalpage joined Bangladesh as assistant coach on a two-year contract in August 2014 and was earlier this year given an extension until the 2019 World Cup.
