Batting coach of Bangladesh Cricket team Neil McKenzie has given resignation from his post. McKenzie conveyed a letter to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Thursday. McKenzie decided to resign from his post for family reason. Bangladesh Cricket team will tour Sri Lanka to play three-match Test series, which will start from October 24.
Neil McKenzie said to a local website, ” Yes I have resigned. I want to spend my time with my family and I cannot serve as a batting coach for Bangladesh Cricket team in all formats.”
McKenzie said, “With Covid, the schedule and doing all formats, the tie away from my young family would be too much.”
He said, “I have loved being a part of the Tigers and will always have a soft spot for Bangladesh Cricket team and the great guys I have been fortunate to work with.”
McKenzie started as a white-ball batting consultant of Bangladesh in July 2018. Then he became a good instructor, with the likes of Tamim Iqbal, Liton Das and Mahmudullah Riyad praising his contribution.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board had yesterday said they were waiting on McKenzie’s confirmation regarding whether he will join the side for the Sri Lanka tour. McKenzie had however tendered his resignation.
McKenzie, who worked with the Bangladesh Test side only once, during their tour of India last year, skipped the T20I series in Lahore earlier this year. He was, however, available for the home series against Zimbabwe, which was his last assignment with the team.
