Domestic great and former Mumbai captain Amol Mazumdar was on Tuesday appointed as the head coach of the Mumbai senior team for the upcoming domestic season. He replaces Ramesh Powar who has taken over as the head coach of the women’s cricket team.
As many as 9 candidates, including former India opener Wasim Jaffer, had applied for Mumbai head coach role. The decision to appoint Amol Mazumdar was taken by the Cricket Improvement Committee of the MCA comprising Jatin Paranjape (chairman), Nilesh Kulkarni and Vinod Kambli.
The CIC zeroed in on the 46-year-old after interviewing eight other candidates, which included Balwinder Singh Sandhu, Jaffer, Sairaj Bahutule, Sulakshan Kulkarni, Pradeep Sunderram, Nandan Phadnis, Umesh Patwal and Vinod Raghvan.
Notably, Mazumdar had applied for the role earlier this year but he was pipped by Ramesh Powar. The former India off-spinner had a fine run with the team, leading them to Vijay Hazare Trophy glory. Prithvi Shaw was the captain when Mumbai won the domestic 50-over tournament.
A Mumbai stalwart, Muzumdar scored 11,167 runs in 171 first class matches between 1993 and 2013.
