In April this year, the BCCI had invited applications for head physiotherapist and strength and conditioning coach for the women\u2019s team for its various matches and tournaments. Shortly after, the interviews for the same are believed to have happened in Bengaluru.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sources familiar with the matter have told IANS on Monday that Nathan Kiely, currently the head of strength and conditioning at the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), is most likely to join the Indian women\u2019s team as their new strength and conditioning coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Apart from his current work in the Bangladesh set-up, Kiely has worked as an assistant strength and conditioning coach with the New South Wales (NSW) cricket team and served as physical performance coach of the Sydney Sixers in the Women\u2019s Big Bash League (WBBL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
