After
the heartbreaking exit of the invincible Women in Blue from the ICC Women’s
World T20 in November, the India Women will look to kick off their new year in
style as they tour New Zealand for a three-match ODI and T20 series starting
January 24. The new year will also welcome the new coach for the women’s team. Former
opener and current batting consultant at the National Cricket Academy WV Raman
has been handed over the charge of the Indian women’s cricket team.
The
cap of the Head Coach of the Women in Blue has changed many heads in the last few
years, which is certainly not the preferred way of going about things. As WV
Raman takes charge, we can just hope that he hangs around for a good amount of
time with the team.
On
Friday, the ODI and T20 squad for the New Zealand tour were announced. Karnataka’s
Veda Krishnamurthy, who had a lean run, was given a pink slip from the ODI and
T20 squad, making way for Vidarbha’s Mona Meshram and Delhi’s Priya Punia
respectively. Another change in the squad that played the World T20 in West
Indies was in the form of Shikha Pandey replacing the injured Pooja Vastrakar.
The three match ODI series begins on January 24, which is followed by the three match T20 series starting February 6.
