In a bizarre turn of events, the ousted fielding coach of the Indian women’s cricket team, Biju George, was approached to accompany the players for the tour of the West Indies starting next month.

It is reliably learnt that the newly appointed fielding coach had travel issues that could not be resolved in time.

The Hindu has learnt that Biju declined the offer to function as the substitute fielding coach for the Caribbean tour where the Women in Blue will play three ODIs and five T20Is.

Criticism

The way the new support staff of the women's team was chosen was criticised by former India captains Diana Eduljee and Shanta Rangaswamy a couple of days ago.
