Debasis Mohanty New Coach of Orissa Cricket

Debasis Mohanty, first international bowler from Orissa replaces Michael Bevan as coach of Orissa cricket team now. After Bevan returned to Australia due to some family problem, OCA appointed Debasis Mohanty as coach for the whole season.

Debasis Mohanty has played 117 first-class games for Orissa and was named captain last year after Shiv Sunder Das was dropped from the squad. Debasis played two Tests and 45 one-day international for India between 1997 and 2001.

“He has been associated with Orissa cricketers and knows all of them,” Behera said. “He was the obvious choice. He has been given a contract for the whole season.”
