The Indian women’s cricket team will soon have a bowling coach with the BCCI looking to invite applications for the role.
The players usually get batting inputs from head coach Tushar Arothe, a former Baroda all-rounder who has scored 6105 first-class runs and took 225 wickets while Biju George has been working the 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.
The official also said 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 whitewashed 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. The Mithali Raj-led squad then went on to beat England 2-1 in a three-match ODI series.
