Bangladesh’s strength and conditioning coach Mario Villavarayan resigned from his position to join Indian Premier League franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, confirmed a Bangladesh Cricket Board official on Thursday.
‘Mario asked our permission to join an Indian Premier League team this season. But as per our policy, we can’t allow any member of our coaching staff to work in domestic leagues,’ BCB chief executive officer Nizamuddin Chowdhury told reporters in Mirpur.
‘He has submitted his resignation to the board on January 29. Mario and the BCB jointly decided to part way,’ he added.
Mario joined Bangladesh national team along with their former head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe in 2014 and his contract was extended for the second time for three years after the end of ICC World Cup in England last year.
The 46-year old former Sri Lankan cricketer, who took 378 wickets in first-class cricket, previously served Sri Lankan national team as strength and conditioning coach, widely known as trainer, for six years between 2008-2014.
