No compromise on fielding, fitness, says women's cricket team coach
Financial Express Mumbai|December 06, 2023
THE INDIAN WOMEN'S cricket team doesn't play often at home. In T20Is, they played Australia in December last year. The last ODI home series was back in March 2021. That is despite the fact they have a T20 World Cup in Bangladesh next year and a home World Cup in the 50-over format on the horizon in 2025. And above all this, it's been a year since the team's last official head coach was moved on from the job.

No compromise on fielding, fitness, says women's cricket team coach

It is against this backdrop that Harmanpreet Kaur and Co get ready for a rare bumper month of international cricket at home, with finally a new head coach in place. Mumbai domestic legend Amol Muzumdar will begin his stint at a place where he piled on mountains of runs as India play England and Australia over the next five weeks in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

While there is reason to debate why the Indian women's team is seemingly restricted to playing in and around Mumbai in the recent past, for Muzumdar it is a chance to kick things off in a backdrop that he knows like the back of his hand.

"I am starting in a new role at my home ground," Muzumdar said in his first press conference on Tuesday at the Wankhede Stadium. "I have played most of my cricket since my childhood here, it's great to start here. It's been a long journey. Yeah, familiar with the conditions but at the same time we cannot be complacent."

Muzumdar scored over 11,000 first-class runs in 171 matches including 30 centuries during his domestic career that lasted more than two decades.
