Overview
- BCCI sources say discussions are underway with Bangladesh men’s S&C head Nathan Kiely to join the Indian setup at the Centre of Excellence, with a decision yet to be announced.
- If finalised, Kiely would become the first foreign strength and conditioning coach linked to the Indian women’s team.
- The Centre of Excellence has added two in‑house S&C coaches, Pratyush Agrawal and Amit Vengurlekar, as part of a broader staffing build‑out.
- Current women’s S&C coach AI Harrsha, praised for the World Cup campaign, is expected to be reassigned to other BCCI duties.
- The moves follow an April recruitment drive and come ahead of a December home white‑ball series against Bangladesh before players rejoin WPL 2026 squads.
