XtraTime Web Desk: Great news for Indian women’s cricket team as they will soon get a bowling coach. The BCCI will soon invite for applications on this post.
As of now, the cricketers are getting valuable inputs from head coach Tushar Arothe, former Baroda all-rounder who scored 6105 first-class runs and took 225 wickets as well. Beside him Biju George is also doing a good job as fielding coach.
“The women’s team management has expressed the need of a bowling coach. We will soon start the hunt for a suitable candidate by inviting applications,” a senior BCCI official told PTI.
“The applicants need not have an international background. Even Tushar has not played for India so that really is not a factor,” the official said.
He added that the team for the Asia Cup will be announced later this week.
India have had a mixed run since making the World Cup final in England last July.
They beat hosts South Africa in their ICC ODI Championship-opener before being thrashed by Australia at home.
They also failed to make the final at home in the subsequent T20 tri-series involving Australia and England in March.
Mithali Raj & co. then made amends by beating England 2-1 in a three-match ODI series.
