Former Australian cricketer and Queensland captain Stuart Law has been sacked as the coach of USA Cricket following allegations of discrimination.
The 56-year-old, who formerly coached Bangladesh and the West Indies, was relieved from his duties as a coach after the USA were defeated by ten wickets against Scotland in the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2.
"Given Stuart's contribution to the program, this was not an easy decision to make," CEO of USA Cricket Johnathan Atkeison said.
"Unfortunately, we felt that a change was necessary for the next phase of competitive preparation."
However, since his axing, there have been reports that he was let go following allegations of discrimination in which he showed favouritism towards some players, per Cricbuzz.
It is understood that tensions between the players and Stuart Law increased during the T20 World Cup and the Tour of the Netherlands.
Per sources from the publication, the players also explained in a letter how โhe infused an air of mistrust amongst team members through his lies and deceit" and that โdiscriminatory tacticsโ were used against a section of players.
Making his international debut for Australia in 1994, Law managed one Test and 54 ODIs for the nation and captained Queensland to five Sheffield Shield titles during his time as a player.
