NSW cricket coach Stuart sacked

Updated December 19, 2012 13:18:53

Anthony Stuart has been sacked as NSW cricket head coach after the domestic board decided against renewing his contract.

Stuart, 42, stepped down with immediate effect after the NSW Cricket board decided it would not renew his contract at the end of the domestic cricket season.

The termination comes after a decent season for the Blues, who currently sit in fourth place on the Sheffield Shield ladder.

However, NSW props up the one-day cup table after winning just one of its four matches.

"Cricket NSW records its thanks to Anthony for his efforts and commitment over the past 18 months," Cricket NSW CEO David Gilbert said in a statement.

"We wish Anthony well in his future endeavours."

Former Sri Lankan Test player Chandika Hathurusinghe will replace Stuart until the end of the season.
