India Women's Coach Amol Muzumdar Hints at Specialist T20I Squad
World Sports · 09:39:19 - Monday, 2 November 2026

India women's cricket head coach Amol Muzumdar has indicated that a specialist T20 International squad could be announced soon. Speaking to reporters, Muzumdar suggested the move is "not long" away, signaling a potential shift toward format-specific selection for the women's team.

The comments come as India prepares for upcoming T20I assignments, with the coach emphasizing the need for players tailored to the shortest format's demands. Muzumdar, who took charge of the women's team in 2023, has previously advocated for specialized approaches across formats.

No specific timeline or player names were disclosed, but the hint suggests the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may soon formalize a dedicated T20I pool separate from ODI and Test considerations.
