“He has resigned with immediate effect. He sent a letter to the board’s CEO last night. He thanked the board for its support. He wished the team well. The deal with him will close according to the terms of his contract,” Jalal Yunus, BCB’s cricket operations chairman, said on Wednesday. “You will definitely see a new coach before the England series (in March). We are already speaking to someone, but we will only disclose it when it is finalised.

“We are likely to have two coaches. One for T20s, and another for Tests and ODIs. To bring the overall coaching on the right track, we will appoint a high-performance manager or director. He will show the way forward for Bangladesh cricket. We are in talks with some candidates for that position too.”

BCB: ‘You will soon see some changes’
Domingo had left for his home in South Africa for the Christmas break following the series against India, with indications already there that he wouldn’t be coming back. Yunus had told reporters after the second India Test, “We need a coach who has an impact and influence on the team. You will soon see some changes.”

ESPNcricinfo has learnt that since Domingo’s contract was till the end of the 2023 ODI World Cup, he will now be paid three months’ salary as compensation.
