Timeline
Upul Chandika Hathurusingha (උපුල් චන්දික හතුරුසිංහ; born 13 September 1968) is a Sri Lankan cricket coach and former player.
He represented the Sri Lanka national cricket team from 1991 to 1999 as an all-rounder.
Hathurusingha was born in Colombo and played club cricket for Tamil Union and Moors Sports Club.
He played 26 Test and 35 One Day International (ODI) matches for Sri Lanka during his international career.
He was a squad member in the 1992 and 1999 Cricket World Cups.
This was not to prove overly effective, though, and when Hathurusingha was not called upon to play in the Cricket World Cup in 1999, this brought about an end to his international career.
He played once again in the Premier Tournament and became Player of the Tournament three seasons running (2001–02, 2002–03, 2003–04).
Having retired from first-class cricket at the end of the 2004–05 season, and Twenty20 cricket at the end of the following season, Hathurusingha was appointed coach of the United Arab Emirates in December 2005 on a one-year contract.
Following the completion of this contract, he was named coach of Sri Lanka A on a three-year contract with Sri Lanka Cricket.
As a coach, Hathurusingha has had head coaching stints with United Arab Emirates (2005–2006), Bangladesh (2014–2017)(2023 - present) and Sri Lanka (2017–2019).
He was reappointed head coach of Bangladesh in 2023.
He has also coached in Australian domestic cricket with New South Wales and the Sydney Thunder.
An opening batsman, Hathurusingha most often opened alongside Roshan Mahanama.
A useful pace-bowler, Hathurusingha was not called into the Test side until an injury to Mahanama stopped him from playing.
Hathurusingha started his career by piecing together a trio of half-centuries in his first three matches.
After a long layoff from the side when other players took over in the opening batsman position, and the subsequent discovery of Sanath Jayasuriya in just that position, Hathurusingha began to play once again, but this time as a strong middle-order batsman and medium-pace bowler.
His Twenty-20 career began in 2005–06.
In 2009, he was named senior assistant to Sri Lanka's national coach, Trevor Bayliss, but he was fired in June 2010 due to disciplinary reasons, after returning early from a tour of Zimbabwe to attend a coaching course in Australia.
Despite a request from Kumar Sangakkara, the national team's captain at the time, for him to be retained in the position, Hathurusingha was not reappointed, and subsequently obtained permanent residency in Australia.
He was a coaching consultant for the Canada national cricket team at the 2011 World Cup,
Hathurusingha was appointed assistant coach of New South Wales in September 2011, on a two-year contract.
When senior coach Anthony Stuart was dismissed from the position in December 2012, midway through the 2012–13 season, Hathurusingha was named acting coach for the remainder of the season.
Trevor Bayliss was appointed coach of New South Wales for the 2013–14 season, with Hathurusingha remaining as senior assistant and also taking over from Shane Duff as coach of the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League, as part of a restructure of Cricket NSW's coaching system.
In May 2014, Hathurusingha was named as coach of the Bangladesh national side, replacing Shane Jurgensen, who had resigned following the 2014 ICC World Twenty20.
Up to 2017, he is the most successful coach to ever get involved in Bangladesh cricket, with ODI series victories against India, Pakistan and South Africa, and Test victories against Sri Lanka (away), England and Australia.
During his tenure, Bangladesh moved higher in Team Rankings and qualified for the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy and directly qualified for 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup as well.
On 9 November 2017, Hathurusingha resigned from coaching the Bangladesh team.
On 8 December Sri Lanka Cricket announced that he would be the head coach of the national team after their 2018 tour in India.
He was reappointed as head coach of the squad of Bangladesh on 31 January 2023.
Although Bangladesh played well in T20Is during this tenure ship, their ODI stint has been disastrous.
In his first assignment, Bangladesh whitewashed world t20 champion England for the first time 3–0.Bangladesh also beat Afghanistan in t20 series by 2-0 in august.
However, they lost both ODI series and an unremarkable performance in Asia Cup and ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
