India women’s cricket team coach: Ramesh Powar

Former India off-spinner Ramesh Powar has been appointed the interim coach of the national women’s cricket team until the BCCI finds a suitable replacement for Tushar Arothe.

The 40-year-old played just two Test matches for India, claiming six wickets, while his 31 ODI appearances fetched him 34 scalps. His first-class career was more prolific and he claimed 470 wickets in 148 games.

According to the guidelines, the new coach should be below 55 years of age and must have experience coaching an international or first-class team.
