The Board of Control for Cricket in India opened applications on November 3 for two national-team support roles: fielding coach for the senior women’s team and head physiotherapist for the senior men’s team. Applications for both posts close at 5pm IST on November 16.

According to the BCCI recruitment notice, the women’s fielding coach will oversee programmes across all three formats, run training sessions and use performance analysis to set and track objectives.

The coaching criteria offer alternative routes through international playing experience, specified coaching qualifications and first-class experience, or experience coaching international, franchise or state teams. Applicants should check the complete requirements before applying.

The men’s head physiotherapist post requires a relevant postgraduate qualification, at least ten years of physiotherapy experience and experience with elite athletes or teams. The board also lists additional professional requirements.

Separate application forms are linked from the official notice. BCCI says candidates may be invited for personal interviews after applications are screened and shortlisted.
