Former New Zealand cricket captain Martin Crowe has parted ways with Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 cricket franchise Bangalore.
Crowe, appointed as the Bangalore Royal Challengers chief cricket officer for their inaugural season, said he left the organisation by "mutual consent" according to a report on cricket website cricinfo.com
He has been replaced by former South African coach Ray Jennings.
Crowe's departure is the latest disclosure in a series of management changes effected by various IPL teams leading up to the one-month trading window for players that starts on December 15.
The Challengers had already replaced Charu Sharma, their chief executive, with Brijesh Patel, the former Indian batsman and secretary of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), during the first season.
The team struggled to produce positive results and finished seventh out of eight.
Hyderabad's Deccan Chargers, who finished last on the points table, have replaced VVS Laxman, their captain, with Adam Gilchrist, the retired Australian wicketkeeper.
The Jaipur and Delhi franchises have also removed their chief executives, despite their success in the first season -- Jaipur's Rajasthan Royals were the champions while the Delhi Daredevils reached the semifinals.
