In what has been the latest development as per the reports in PTI, it is learned that the legend of Domestic cricket Amol Muzumdar is all set to become the head coach of the Indian women’s team. The reports suggested Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) was impressed by his interview.

The CAC comprising Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe and Sulakshana Naik took the interview of the shortlisted candidates in Mumbai on Monday (Monday 3rd July). As per the reports, the committee was impressed by his 90-minute presentation. The official announcement is likely to be made soon.

A BCCI official confirmed the development while speaking to PTI: “The CAC was most impressed with Amol’s presentation who was very clear in his plans for the women’s team. The other presentations were good too but his was by far the best. He will most likely be recommended for the job.”
