New Delhi
\nFormer India seamer Manoj Prabhakar has applied for the job of national women team\u2019s coach and, if shortlisted, he may be interviewed by a panel headed by none other than his former teammate Kapil Dev. Right from their playing days till the match-fixing controversy that reared its ugly head in 2000, the Kapil-Prabhakar acrimony is well known in the Indian cricket circles.<\/p>\n
The Indian cricket board has advertised for the chief coach\u2019s post and Prabhakar has applied along with South African Herschelle Gibbs. \u201cYes, I have applied for the chief coach\u2019s post. It would be an honour to serve the country\u2019s national cricket team in any capacity,\u201d said Prabhakar. While Prabhakar\u2019s knowledge of the game is unquestionable, what remains to be seen is if the coach\u2019s selection panel will shortlist him for an interview. The panel will be headed by Kapil Dev, with other members being Anshuman Gaekwad and former woman cricketer Shantha Rangaswamy.<\/p>\n
When told that Kapil was likely to head the selection panel, Prabhakar responded curtly. \u201cYou asked me if I had applied or not, and I said yes. Why did I apply? Because I feel I can contribute with my cricketing knowledge,\u201d Prabhakar said. \u201cThere is so much talent in women\u2019s game and I think I have the experience to help the likes of Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
