Ramesh Powar to Continue As Chief Coach of the Indian Women's Cricket Team

Ramesh Powar will continue in his position as the chief coach of the Indian women's cricket team suggest reports. Despite the World Cup loss, the former spinner still enjoys the backing of BCCI.

Powar took over as the head coach of the senior women's team for the second time in May last year. At the time he was handed a two-year contract.

Powar had replaced former India opener WV Raman as the head coach last year. He was appointed after a selection process with a three-member Cricket Advisory Committee comprising Sulakshana Naik, Madan Lal and RP Singh.

As reported by a leading Indian daily, “Powar will continue to oversee the India women's team even after the disappointing early exit from the World Cup. Mithali Raj's side was knocked out from the showpiece event as early as the round-robin group stages."

Earlier PTI had reported that Powar’s contract will be renewed with NCA chief VVS Laxman also taking a greater involvement in the sport. “Powar’s contract was till World Cup. There is no provision for extension. So the entire process starts with applications and interviews. Powar can certainly reapply and CAC as per the constitution, will take a call,” a senior BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
