India Women’s Head Coach Race: Shortlist of Five Candidates
The Indian Women’s Cricket Team is on the brink of appointing their first head coach in two years, as reported by the latest news. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has created a shortlist of five candidates for the role. The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) is scheduled to interview the contenders in the near future.
Shortlisted Candidates
According to ESPN Cricinfo, Amol Muzumdar, Tushar Arothe, and Jon Lewis are three of the five contenders on the BCCI’s shortlist. The CAC will interview the hopefuls on July 1-2 in Mumbai and make a decision afterwards. Jon Lewis, who was a candidate for the England Women’s Cricket team, will present his case virtually. Lewis was unsuccessful in his bid, as the position was given to Jon Lewis, who was also part of the UP Warriorz’s backroom staff.
Amol Muzumdar’s Coaching Career
Amol Muzumdar has been a prominent coach since he retired from a twenty-one year long first-class career. He served as the head coach of Mumbai until last season and has also been part of the coaching staff for the Indian Premier League (IPL) and domestic teams. His experience in the field makes him a strong contender for the role.
Conclusion
The BCCI has put together a shortlist of five candidates for the position of head coach of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team. Domestic stalwarts Amol Muzumdar and Tushar Arothe are in the running, alongside Jon Lewis. The CAC will interview the applicants on July 1-2 in Mumbai and decide who will be the first head coach of the team in two years.
