MUMBAI: The BCCI on Wednesday announced the appointment of domestic stalwart Amol Muzumdar as the head coach of the Indian women's team. It ended a long wait for Muzumdar, who was shortlisted by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), comprising Sulakshana Naik, Ashok Malhotra and Jatin Paranjape for the job way back in June.
He takes over from former India off-spinner Ramesh Powar, who was removed from the post in December last year as part of BCCI's 'internal restructuring.' For close to a year, the position of the head coach of the Indian women's team had been lying vacant with Hrishikesh Kanitkar and Nooshin Al Khadeer doing the job on an interim basis.
