Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Monday confirmed the appointment of Amol Muzumdar as interim batting coach for the Tests against India.
“He has moved on to become one of the top coaches in India, holding high-performance coaching certificates from the BCCI, Cricket Australia as well as in the UK through both Lancashire and Yorkshire,” CSA said in a press statement.
CSA’s Acting Director of Cricket Corrie van Zyl said, “Amol is a perfect fit for us. He brings an intimate knowledge of Indian playing conditions and the challenges our batsmen are likely to face. He also assisted us at the spin bowling camp we held recently in India and thus has already built up a good working relationship with Aiden Markram, Temba Bavuma and Zubayr Hamza.”
Amol Mujumdar has played for the teams of Mumbai, Assam and Andhra in the domestic cricket and he finished his career as the second-highest run-scorer in the Ranji Trophy.
The former cricketer has scored 11,167 runs including 40 centuries and 60 half-centuries at an average of 48.13 in his career. He announced his retirement in 2014.
