Earlier, while explaining his decision to leave BCB, Hannan Sarkar stated: "I made this decision with my future in mind. I believe that by pursuing coaching, I will not only benefit personally but also contribute more effectively to Bangladesh cricket. I felt this was the right time to step down, as BCB has recently shown increased focus on local coaches."
