The BCCI Level 2 coaching certification is a rigorous program designed to prepare for mentoring and developing future talent. The course covers a range of topics, including skill acquisition, biomechanics, video analysis, and personal development. The National Cricket Academy (NCA) has been conducting these programs to facilitate the transition of former cricketers into coaching roles.

Tiwary's cricketing career has been a mix of highs and lows. Despite limited opportunities at the international level, he made valuable contributions in the domestic circuit. Having scored over 10,000 First-Class runs at an average of nearly 48, including 30 centuries, Tiwary was a key member of Bengal’s batting unit for years.
