Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has decided not to renew the contract with the head coach of the men’s team, Monty Desai. He recently completed his two-year tenure and a CAN spokesperson said “it was not a sudden decision,” but a “mutual agreement”.
“Head coach of the men’s national cricket team Shri Mrugang Jagdish Desai ‘Monty Desai’ was appointed with a tenure of two-year and the agreement has come to an end which we all are well aware of,” CAN spokesperson Chhumbi Lama said in a release. “Also, it is hereby informed that the Cricket Association of Nepal has decided not to renew the contract.
“It was not a sudden decision. A board meeting held earlier had decided not to offer him a contract extension. There is no reason to think negatively of him, the decision was more of a mutual agreement.”
