Anju Jain to take over as Bangladesh women coach

Former India women wicketkeeper Anju Jain is set to take over as head coach of the Bangladesh women team, reports ESPNcricinfo.

She will replace former England allrounder David Capel, who has been in the job since October 2016.

Capel will step down after the ongoing South Africa tour consisting of five one day internationals (ODI)s and three T20s, that serve as preparation as Bangladesh seek to qualify for the Women's World T20 to be played in the West Indies in November.

While the finer details of Jain's deal are yet to be worked out, it is understood that she will join the national team on a six-month contract and take over as soon as they return from South Africa on May 21. She will be joined by her former India colleague Devika Palshikar and Anuja Dalvi, who are already onboard as assistant coach and physiotherapist respectively.
