Regarding the appointment of the support staff, the selection committee will decide and announce in the coming days. As far as the head coach position is concerned, the current Cricket Advisory Committee, headed by Madan Lal, will select a candidate and appoint soon.

It was also decided that the Women's T20 Challenge 2021 will have only three teams and will happen in May during the men's IPL playoffs. The women's U-19 age-group tournaments are likely to be held only in March 2022.
