Meanwhile, the former cricketer, Chetan Sharma has been named as the replacement for Parvinder Awana. The latest addition came in the junior selection committee.
The announcement has been made public by the DDCA in a media release.
Coming to the appointment of the right-arm bowler, the respective statement told that it was a decision from the men’s selection committee. It also paved the way for the recently-retired Awana to bag the coaching role.
“Parvinder has resigned as selector Jr Selection Committee. His resignation has been accepted. And in his place, Chetan Sharma has been appointed as selector Jr Selection Committee,” the statement revealed.
“On the recommendation of the men’s Selection Committee, Parvinder Awana has been appointed bowling coach, Ranji Trophy,” a statement from the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) read.
Awana played for a considerable amount of time for Delhi in his first-class cricket. He was once picked for Indian team when England toured India.
However, he failed to grab any wicket to his name eventually missing out a place.
He also featured for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Parvinder Awana had a roller-coaster ride with them as he never really been consistent for the team. However, it would be interesting to see how he excels in his new role. He would be crucial for Delhi in the upcoming Ranji Trophy.
