CAC may conduct women's team head coach interviews

Ramesh Powar and Mithali Raj

While the Supreme Court-appointed CoA has kept mum over the Raj v Powar controversy and have not scheduled any meeting with the women's team management to discuss the current issues, it is learnt that the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) may conduct the interviews of shortlisted candidates. The CAC consists of greats, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.

"It is the job of the CAC to appoint the head coach for the men's and women's teams. So far, there has been no communication on this to the CAC, though," a BCCI source said.
