When asked why another head coach wasn't appointed, a senior BCA official said that both Jain and Palshikar told them that they would manage the affairs.

He also said that the term of contract is still undecided.

BCA has already roped in World Cup-winning coach Dav Whatmore as the head coach of the men's team for the 2020-21 season.
