Former India off-spinner Nooshin Al Khadeer has been named head coach of Vidarbha’s women’s cricket team for the upcoming season. Last season, Priyanka Acharya served as coach of the Vidarbha Cricket Association’s women’s squad.
“Priyanka opted out for the coming season and we have appointed Nooshin as senior women’s coach,” said VCA CEO Farokh Dastoor.
“The Gulbarga, Karnataka born cricketer Nooshin is at present with the India A team’s tour to Australia. She will join Vidarbha after completing her assignment,” a VCA official added.
An all-rounder, Nooshin coached the India Under-19 team to victory in the inaugural Women’s World Cup in South Africa in 2023. She also guided Railways to two titles in the 2021-22 season and led the Supernovas to the Women’s IPL 2022 crown.
As a player, the 44-year-old represented India in five Test matches, 78 One-Day Internationals, and two Twenty20 Internationals between 2002 and 2012.
