The Coronavirus-forced lockdown has prevented cricketing activities across all states but that has not stopped the Uttarakhand Cricket Association (UCA) from planning for the upcoming domestic season.

After announcing former India opener Wasim Jaffer as head coach of their Ranji Trophy team recently, UCA have now appointed former India women's wicketkeeper-batswoman Anagha Deshpande as coach of its women's U-19 and U-16 teams. Mumbai-based Western Railway opener Deshpande has represented India in 23 ODIs and eight T20Is.
