MUMBAI: The BCCI on Tuesday put on an ad for the head coach of the Indian women's team. Harmanpreet Kaur & Co played in the ICC T20 World Cup in February without a head coach, with batting coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar overseeing the team.
Former India off-spinner Ramesh Powar was the team's previous head coach, before he was moved to the National Cricket Academy just before the home T20I series against Australia in December.
As per the criteria listed by the BCCI for applying for the job, a candidate "should have represented India or any other country at international level; or should have minimum NCA Level 'C' certified coach or a similar certification from a reputed organisation/Institute and a minimum of 50 FC games; or Should have the experience of coaching an international team for a period of minimum 1 season or a T20 franchise for a minimum of 2 seasons."
"A thorough understanding of the game or playing/coaching experience at the highest level and experience of leading a multicultural team" too has been recommended. The last date to apply for the post is May 10.
The Indian women's team has a busy home season, with England and Australia coming here. There's also the likelihood of a pink ball Test being held. There's also a Women's T20 World Cup scheduled for next year.
