Julian Calefato, the National Lead Physiotherapist and Rehabilitation Manager of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), will be departing from his permanent position due to compassionate reasons.
Calefato's decision comes as his companion has experienced a recurrence of a serious illness, requiring extensive medical attention in the foreseeable future.
