BCCI has appointed Ramesh Powar as interim coach of the India Women's cricket team. The decision came on the back of Tushar Arothe's resignation. Powar will be in charge of the camp that begins in Bengaluru from July 25. BCCI has already invited applications for the full-time coach's job with July 20 being the deadline to apply. "I am happy with the responsibility given and I will try my best to take them ahead," Powar told PTI. Arothe had cited his differences with the seniors of the side as reason for his resignation.
Powar had also applied for the job of head coach of Mumbai, but the post eventually went to Vinayak Samant. According to PTI, Powar was apparently first-choice, but an MCA managing committee resolution ruled the decision in Samanth's favour. Powar had toured Australia to train young spinners this February.
Powar, now 40, played 2 Tests and 31 ODIs for India with mixed success. His 148 First-Class matches fetched him 470 wickets.
