BCCI appoints Shiv Sunder Das as batting coach of India women cricket team

Gutsy former India opener Shiv Sunder Das has been appointed the batting coach of the Indian women’s team for the tour of England and he is looking forward to use his coaching stint at NCA to guide the youngsters during the trip.

Das, who has played 23 Tests between 2000-02, has a decent average of near 35 with more than 1300 runs, including two hundreds and nine half



centuries.

“It will be good experience and I am looking forward to it,” the 43-year-old former Odisha skipper told PTI on his appointment.

“I have been part of NCA for last 4-5 years and have been batting coach for last couple of years. I would like to thank Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly for giving me this opportunity,” said the man who has played all his cricket under the BCCI president’s captaincy.
