Richard Pybus has stepped down as coach of Bangladesh, just five months after he was appointed to the job in May, when he succeeded Stuart Law.

Englishman Pybus, who previously coached Pakistan, Middlesex and Titans as well as Kolkata Knight Riders, led the side during the recent ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka, where they failed to reach the Super Eight stage.

It has been reported that he submitted his resignation to the board via email.

"We have received an email from the agent of Mr Pybus which stated that he is unwilling to continue as our head coach," Bangladesh Cricket Board president Nazmul Hasan said at a news conference.
