Ramesh Powar to move away from India women’s head coach role
Powar took charge of the team in 2021 after WV Raman’s tenure ended. Under him, India drew the one-off Tests in England and Australia in 2021 and ended Australia’s record 26-match winning streak in ODIs, but crashed out of the 50-over World Cup in 2022 in the league stage.
But they won the silver medal at the Commonwealth Games last year before blanking England 3-0 in an ODI series in England. His last series at the helm was India’s victorious T20 Asia Cup campaign in October.
In December last year, though, Powar was made spin-bowling coach at the NCA. Batting coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar was put in charge of the team for the T20 World Cup, where India narrowly lost to Australia in the semi-final.
The deadline for submitting applications for the post, the tenure for which has not been made public, is 6pm IST on May 10. India’s next assignment is a tour of Bangladesh for a bilateral series in June.
