Former Assam fast bowler Krishna Das has been appointed as a member of the BCCI Junior Selection Committee, marking a significant milestone for Assam cricket.
Hailing from Barpeta, Assam, Das was appointed following the selection process conducted by the Cricket Advisory Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Das enjoyed an impressive domestic career, featuring in 49 First-Class matches and claiming 166 wickets. He also represented India at the Under-19 and India A levels, gaining valuable experience in the domestic and international cricketing circuits.
After his playing career, Das continued his association with the game as the bowling coach of the India Under-19 team. His experience as a player and coach is expected to bring valuable insights to his new role in junior cricket selection.
Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Secretary Sanatan Das expressed gratitude to BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia for his support and acknowledged the BCCI’s decision to appoint Krishna Das to the committee.
The appointment is a proud moment for Assam cricket, recognising the contributions and expertise of one of the state’s former cricketers at the national level.
India Clinch Women’s T20I Series With Nine-Wicket Win Over Zimbabwe
India defeated Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the second women’s T20 International to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series on Sunday.
Openers Shafali Verma and captain Smriti Mandhana starred in the chase, scoring 55 and 47 not out respectively as India comfortably chased down the target of 103 in just 8.5 overs.
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe opted to bat but struggled against the Indian bowling attack, managing only 102 for eight in their allotted 20 overs. Niki Prasad was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming two wickets for just seven runs.
India had won the opening T20I by four wickets on Friday, and Sunday’s emphatic victory sealed the series with one match remaining.
The third and final T20I will be played at the same venue on Tuesday.
