New Delhi: Former India off-spinner Ramesh Powar was on Tuesday officially appointed head coach of the women’s national team until the ICC World T20 scheduled for November 2018.

“The BCCI has appointed Ramesh Powar as head coach of the Indian women’s team. Powar has now been handed over full time duties till November 30, 2018,” a BCCI statement confirmed.
