The BCCI has appointed Amol Mazumdar as the head coach of the Indian Women's team, ending a long wait. Amol was shortlisted by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) in June and replaced Ramesh Powar, who was removed from the respective post in December last year as BCCI's 'internal restructuring.'

BCCI and Cricket Australia conducted a stadium tour, with England playing three ODIs before the Test and Australia playing three ODIs and T20Is post-Test in Mumbai.

Indian Women's Cricket team Head Coach, Amol Muzumdar, has been appointed for a two-year term. He expressed his gratitude to CAC and BCCI for their trust and aims to provide talented players with proper preparation and guidance for the two upcoming World Cups.
