The head coach of the Indian women’s cricket team will be domestic stalwart Amol Muzumdar. The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) interviewed Muzumdar on Monday in Mumbai. He was one of the short-listed candidates.
The CAC, which was made up of Ashok Malhotra, Jatin Paranjpe, and Sulakshana Naik, were especially moved by Muzumdar’s 90-minute presentation during the interview. In addition to Muzumdar, at least five other applicants were considered for the position, including Jon Lewis, the Durham coach, and Tushar Arothe.
Who is Amol Muzumdar?
Amol Muzumdar is a former domestic cricket stalwart who was born in Mumbai on 11 November 1974. He became well-known in both List A and first-class cricket, but despite his stellar batting record, he was never given the chance to play for the senior India team.
On February 13, 1994, Muzumdar, who is now 48 years old, made his first-class debut for Bombay against Haryana. He later scored an unbeaten 260 in the Ranji Trophy pre-quarterfinal match.
In his subsequent 260 innings, Muzumdar would score 11,167 first-class runs at an average of 48.13 (30 centuries and 60 fifties). Muzumdar amassed 3286 runs from 106 innings, or an average of 38.20, in List A cricket.
During his playing career, Muzumdar played for India A alongside Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly and was selected vice-captain of the India Under-19 team in 1994. But despite having a tonne of first-class cricket experience, he was never called up for the senior India team.
When Muzumdar was named the Mumbai team’s permanent skipper during the 2006–07 domestic cricket season, it was one of the highlights of his career. Muzumdar’s inspirational leadership helped Mumbai win the Ranji Trophy with a 132-run victory over Bengal at the Wankhede Stadium, after a shaky start to their Ranji Trophy season in which they drew two games and lost one. Muzumdar eventually amassed 538 runs from 11 games, including two century and the same number of fifty-plus scores.
Muzumdar was dropped out of the Mumbai team for the Buchi Babu competition in August 2009, and a year later, ahead of the Ranji Trophy, he changed his allegiance to Assam. After moving to Andhra in 2012, Muzumdar played there for a few seasons until announcing his first-class retirement in 2014.
A look at Amol Muzumdar’s coaching career
Muzumdar has had a successful coaching career after he stopped playing first-class cricket. When Muzumdar was a player for Andhra in 2013, he decided to coach the team’s young players during the season’s closing stretch. India’s U19 and U23 teams both have Muzumdar as their batting coach. Between 2018 and 2020, Muzumdar served as the batting coach for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), and more recently, he served as the head coach of the Mumbai domestic team. In 2013, Muzumdar also had the chance to work with the Netherlands cricket squad after being hired as a batting consultant. As a batting coach for South Africa’s Test tour of India in 2019, Muzumdar worked with the team.
Who is Amol Muzumdar’s wife?
Amol Muzumdar is married to Ruhi Muzumdar.
Muzumdar attended B.P.M. High School and switched to Sharadashram Vidyamandir School upon his coach Ramakant Achrekar’s request. He has a net worth of $1-5 million.
