Shiv Sundar Das appointed new coach of Odisha cricket team

Cuttack: Former Team India opening batsman Shiv Sundar Das has been appointed as the coach of the Odisha cricket team, informed Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) today.

Das has replaced former Team India fast bowler Debasish Mohanty as the coach.

“This is the first time I have been assigned a job with the India women’s national team, so it’s a quite exciting time for me. I’m really looking forward to it. It will be a good challenge for me because I’ve toured England as a player and played a lot of league cricket,” Das told espncricinfo.com

Mohanty was serving as the coach of the Odisha cricket team since January 2011 succeeding Australia’s Michael Bevan.

Debasish had earlier expressed wish to leave the post reportedly for personal reasons.
