Faruque Ahmed, the newly appointed president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), has repeated his stance on removing Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha.
58-year-old former Bangladesh cricketer, who was nominated as the new board president following Nazmul Hassan Papon's resignation, had previously voiced his disapproval of Hathurusingha's leadership.
When asked if his views had changed since taking charge, Faruque confirmed that he still intends to dismiss the Sri Lankan coach.

"I am not exactly aware of the contract situation with Chandika Hathurusingha. I have the same position [about removing Hathurusingha]," Faruque told reporters in Mirpur on Wednesday.
"Now, I have to consider a few things officially. Whether we can find someone better than him or someone of equal calibre is something we will have to see. I still have the same stand [on Hathurusingha]."
Hathurusingha is currently in charge of the Bangladesh team who are playing the first Test of the two-match series against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
