Manoj Prabhakar, the former India all-rounder, has stepped down as Nepal’s head coach after a four-month stint, the country’s cricket board has confirmed.
Prabhakar, 59, had scalped 96 wickets and scored 1600 runs from 39 Tests between 1984 and 1995 for India. He was appointed as Nepal’s head coach in August this year.
“Mr. Manoj Prabhakar has stepped down from his position of Nepal Men’s National cricket team’s Head Coach with immediate effect on 15th December 2022,” Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) announced on its official Twitter handle.
“CAN has accepted his resignation and wish him the best for his future,” it added.
Under Prabhakar, Nepal men’s team played just five T20Is and seven ODIs, including four matches in the World Cup Super League 2.
Under him, Nepal had a successful tour of Kenya, winning a five-match T20I series 3-2 and then sweeping the ODIs 3-0. Nepal also won a home ODI series against UAE 2-1 last month.
