Lutfullah Stanikzai had a three-year contract with ACB. He was hired in July last year following Afghanistan's poor show at the 50 over World Cup where they failed to win a single match and finished at the bottom.
The Test match was an uncertain affair given the coronavirus pandemic which has led to travel restrictions Down Under. However, Cricket Australia gave the day-night Test a go-ahead as part of their summer home fixture.
Head coach Lance Klusener, batting coach HD Ackermann and assistant coach Nawroz Mangal are among those impacted by the decision.
Shafaq accepted four charges relating to breach of the ACB Anti-Corruption Code during the inaugural edition of the Afghanistan Premier League T20 in 2018 and the 2019 edition of the BPL.
The board had terminated the agreement, citing concerns about the integrity of people associated with Snixer Sports, the partners.
Klusener had previously worked as batting coach of Zimbabwe and South Africa, and head coach of the South Africa domestic side Dolphins, as well as bowling coach of Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians.
Nabi's fireworks saw Afghanistan recover from 40-4 to compile a respectable 164-6 after which Rahman's bowling helped to dismiss Bangladesh for 139 in 19.5 overs.
Zadran and Mohammad Nabi combined for an Afghan record 107 off 40 balls in a six-laden, fifth-wicket stand to help the side post 197-5.
Afghanistan failed to win even a single game out of all the nine matches they played in the group stage of the tournament and ended at the bottom of the points table.
It is understood that Mohammad Nabi has taken this decision in a bid to prolong his white-ball career.
Earlier, Shahzad's contract was "suspended for indefinite period" for breaching the ACB Code of Conduct but the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) on Sunday fixed the term of his suspension, which will now last one year.

Shahzad was declared unfit by the Board to take part in 2019 World Cup, and the player has since insisted that he is fit, and that there has been a conspiracy against him.
