IND-W vs AUS-W: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur DISMISSES claims of RIFT with former coach Ramesh Powar, says ‘Have always enjoyed working with him’
“It’s the BCCI’s decision who’s moved to NCA. He will work there as the spin coach, and whenever we’ll go to NCA, Ramesh sir is always available,” Harmanpreet added.
Powar also had some tussle with the former Indian skipper Mithali Raj
Powar, a former India spinner, faced the axe once more and was moved to the NCA, reportedly at Harmanpreet’s request. To note, Powar had some tussle with the former Indian skipper Mithali Raj in 2018. As a result, he was relieved from his duties three years back as well. The board has now roped in Hrishikesh Kanitkar as the batting coach of the team and he will be at the helm for the series against Australia.
