Following the departure of former Indian women’s cricket head coach Ramesh Pawar, Mumbai-born Amol Muzumdar took over the mantle in 2023. Replacing Powar, who was removed from the post in December last year as part of BCCI's 'internal restructuring’, Ranji-winning captain, Amol, as the head coach, saw the back-to-back Tests as India take on England and Australia at the Wankhede in December as his first assignment.
