India Women’s Team: On Tuesday, May 2, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) issued a call for applications for the job of head coach for India’s senior women’s squad. Ramesh Powar was transferred to the National Cricket Academy in December 2022, leaving the position vacant.
Candidates must have represented India or another nation at the international level, or they must possess a minimum NCA level “C” coaching certificate or a comparable certificate from a reputable organisation, along with a minimum of 50 first-class games, according to the Cricket Board’s notice.
Candidates who have coached a T20 franchise for two seasons or an international team for a minimum of one season are also eligible to apply for the position.
Although the BCCI has not specified an age requirement, candidates older than 60 are not selected due to BCCI policy. The candidate would be asked to create a cricket coaching structure for the position, which will be situated in Mumbai.
The deadline for applications to the position is May 10. Following the deadline, the BCCI will shortlist the candidates who, in accordance with the BCCI constitution, will then be interviewed by the Cricket Advisory Committee, which is chaired by Ashok Malhotra.
The BCCI will name the head coach until the ODI World Cup in 2025.
The coaching staff for the Indian women’s cricket team has undergone numerous changes in recent years. After former coach Powar was moved to the NCA, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team entered the T20 World Cup 2023 in South Africa without a head coach.
The T20 World Cup 2024 and the ODI World Cup 2025 are the two biggest ICC competitions scheduled for the Women in Blue during the following two years. The BCCI is keen to name a team’s long-term head coach as a result.
In the notice that the board published, the length of the head coach’s contract was not mentioned. However, a report in SportStar claims that the BCCI is looking to hire a head coach at least until the ODI World Cup in 2025, which is slated to take place in India.
