WV Raman s knowledge of the game and coaching skills can be very useful for many. There are very few sharper brains than him and he has many years of experience. Hyderabad cricket association will do its best to engage him and draw immense benefit, Azharuddin tweeted.

Raman s unceremonious ouster opened a can of worms with both the Madan Lal-headed Cricket Advisory Committee and Neetu David-led selection panel coming under the scanner of BCCI bigwigs.
Ramesh Powar’s last stint as head coach of the Indian women’s cricket team didn’t end in the best of circumstances.
After India’s exit in the semi-finals of the 2018 T20 World Cup, he was involved in an unsavoury and very public clash of words, tweets and leaked correspondence with ODI captain Mitali Raj. His contract was not renewed further and WV Raman was appointed coach. Raman took the team to the final of the 2020 T20 World Cup.
But now, the roles stand reversed. Powar is back and has replaced Raman ahead of an extremely important period for women’s cricket, which includes tours to England, Australia and the delayed ODI World Cup.

NEW DELHI: Former spinner Ramesh Powar on Thursday replaced W V Raman as the Indian women s cricket team s head coach, regaining the position more than two years after he was sacked owing to a bitter fallout with ODI captain Mithali Raj.
The 42-year-old was recommended by the Madan Lal-led Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) after interviewing eight candidates, including Raman. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announces the appointment of Mr Ramesh Powar as the Head Coach of Team India (Senior Women). The BCCI had advertised for the post and received over 35 applications, a BCCI statement read.
