Cricket News: Will rift in CoA augur well for Indian Cricket?

COA chairman Vinod Rai has decided against his colleague Diana Edulji’s call to scrap the selection process of the Indian women’s team coach and continue with Ramesh Powar at least till the New Zealand tour beginning next month. In a letter to Rai, COA member Edulji said Powar should be given an extension at least till the New Zealand tour, considering he has the backing of T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur and seasoned opener Smriti Mandhana. Rai, however, in his reply made it clear that scrapping the coach selection process is out of the question as the BCCI has already invited applications for the job.
