Unperturbed by the absence of a head coach for over six months, Indian women’s team vice-captain Smriti Mandhana preferred to look at the silver lining, saying tips shared by a different set of coaching staff will be advantageous.
Since the sacking of Ramesh Powar in December last year, the women’s cricket team has been without a head coach. The side was even forced to play the T20 World Cup in February without the head of the coaching staff. “The BCCI has been hunting for a long-term coach and we will have one soon,” Mandhana said at the pre-match press conference ahead of India’s third ODI against Bangladesh. “It’s not a very big thing in terms of players. We want to play the best brand of cricket we can. All the coaching staff that has come in has been really helpful.

“Sometimes it’s an advantage, new coaching staff comes with new tips and new positives. If I take it positively then it’s a good thing. It’s not important what’s happening around us, how we play our cricket is important,” added Mandhana, who will have a key role to play as the Indian batting needs to come good to beat Bangladesh in this series-deciding encounter.
