Pybus quits as Bangladesh coach

Englishman Richard Pybus has quit as coach of Bangladesh's cricket team over contract differences just five months into the job, officials said yesterday

Pybus, 48, told the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) of his decision on Tuesday night, just weeks before the team take on the West Indies in a home series starting in November.

“We have already appointed Shane Jurgensen, the national team’s bowling coach, as the interim coach for the team,” BCB spokesman Jalal Yunus told AFP.
