Women's cricket: Powar's term as coach of Indian eves ends

Women's cricket: Powar's term as coach of Indian eves ends

Ramesh Powar would have wanted to become the permanent coach of the Indian women's cricket team after being selected as the interim boss, back in August. Things were going his way with India reaching the semi-finals of the World T20. But the controversy surrounding veteran cricketer, Mithali Raj, completely changed Powar's fortunes. In this light, the BCCI has now invited applications to replace Powar.

All about the application process for head coach's position

The BCCI released a statement saying that interested candidates should send their application latest by 5 PM on December 14, 2018. Applicants should send their CVs to recruitment@bcci.tv. Meanwhile, shortlisted candidates will be interviewed on Thursday, December 20, 2018 at the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.

Information
Here are the names being discussed for the job

According to reports, the names being discussed by the cricket body are Tom Moody, Dav Whatmore and Venkatesh Prasad. These three have commendable experience as far as coaching is concerned. One would hope the BCCI gets in an experience figure to prevent clash of egos.

Chance
A missed opportunity for Powar

This has clearly been a missed opportunity for Powar. A lot was expected from the former Indian cricketer, who had earlier snubbed Mumbai Cricket Association, to take up this job in July. However, the way he handled the issue surrounding Mithali Raj displayed his lack of experience. The internal matters of the team became public, which ultimately led to Powar losing his job.

Women's T20
Mithali Raj had accused Powar of being unfair

According to a report, Mithali had written a scathing letter to the BCCI after she returned to India and said Powar's behavior was unfair. Raj had stated, "My issues with the coach started immediately as we landed in the West Indies. At first, there were small signs that his behaviour towards me was unfair and discriminatory but I didn't bother much about it."

Powar
Powar shot back as ugly war of words followed

Powar countered every charge levelled against him by Mithali. "Mithali Raj- a senior player in the team. Minimum inputs in team meetings not a single word of appreciation after finishing at the top of the table," Powar had said in a meeting. He claimed that Raj wanted to pack her bags and not participate in the World T20 after the batting order was changed.

Information
An experienced coach needed for women's team: Our take

The next coach should have the ability to handle issues within closed doors. Further, the person should be able to command respect and stand tall against outside influence. An experienced head is needed to calm the ship and help them perform at the international level.
