WV Raman&nbsp;was replaced as the coach of the Indian Women's&nbsp;Cricket team as former cricketer Romesh&nbsp;Power took charge on Thursday. But the change in a coach who led the team to the World T20 final last year has now opened a can of worms. The two parties in question are&nbsp;the Madan Lal-headed Cricket Advisory Committee and Neetu David-led selection panel. Powar&nbsp;interestingly was removed as the coach of the women's team in 2018 and this will be his 2nd stint as the top boss.&nbsp;According to PTI, a total of 8 interviews were conducted and the selection committee had made up their minds to pick Powar even before the process started. Reports suggest that WV Raman had a fallout with the selection committee during the recently concluded home series vs South Africa which saw many players being dropped from the squad. Many big stars like Shafali Verma and pacer Shikha Pandey were dropped from various formats which baffled everyone.
