Overview
- Tamil Nadu named Venkataramana head coach for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 and Vijay Hazare one-day tournaments, with Senthilnathan retained solely for Ranji duties.
- The TNCA announced the mid-season restructure via a late-night press release during the fifth Ranji round in Coimbatore.
- The committee did not clarify Senthilnathan’s status beyond the current Ranji campaign.
- The shift follows poor red-ball results that include defeats to Jharkhand and Andhra, a first-innings deficit to Vidarbha, and a draw against Nagaland.
- Varun Chakravarthy was appointed T20 captain for the Syed Mushtaq Ali group stage, as the association turns its focus to upcoming white-ball competitions.
