Dhaka, Dec 28: Two days after the home Test series against India, Russell Domingo has resigned as the Bangladesh head coach without completing his tenure that ran till the 2023 World Cup. Domingo joined as head coach in September 2019 after the BCB sacked Steve Rhodes following the World Cup debacle that year.

"We are moving with a long-term plan and that is not short-term. It is a three to four years plan and if changes are required (to implement those plans) there will be changes," Nazmul told reporters on Monday. Bangladesh lost two-match Test series 2-0 against India and it will be considered as the last assignment of Domingo.
