BCA intensifies search for cricket coach

The association has invited interested individuals to submit their CVs. The team has been without a coach since Menon’s departure in August last year. BCA fixtures and publicity secretary, Sumod Damodar told Mmegi Sport they want an experienced coach. “We need an African coach who has good cricket experience on all formats of the game which are test, one day internationals and T20 cricket,” Damodar explained. He said it will be an added advantage if the coach comes from a test playing nation.

He said a number of candidates from different countries have submitted their CVs and a closing date for application is yet to be announced. “After the submission, we take a look at the CVs, vet them and select the coach,” he said. Damodar said the new coach will work closely with development sides, grooming players for the national team. He said due to financial challenges, the BCA will not hire specialist coaches.
