Ramesh Powar named interim coach of Indian women’s cricket team

Former Indian cricketer Ramesh Powar was on Monday appointed the interim coach of national women’s cricket team.

Pawar will replace Tushar Arothe, who was forced to resign in the wake of differences with senior players who were not happy with the coaching methods of former Baroda all-rounder.

Powar will oversee the women’s team camp which begins in Bengaluru from July 25. The 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 (women’s team) ahead,” Powar told PTI.
