Shastri named India’s head coach until 2019 World Cup
Print Edition
FORMER test allrounder Ravi Shastri has been appointed India’s new head coach until the 2019 World Cup, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said on Tuesday.
Another ex-test fast bowler, Zaheer Khan, was named bowling consultant while Rahul Dravid will accompany the national team on foreign tours as the batting consultant. Shastri, who played 80 test matches and 150 ODIs, also served as Indian team director in between 2014-16 before Anil Kumble was appointed as head coach. However, Kumble stepped down last month following differences with captain Virat Kohli. India’s next international assignment is a three-test series which starts later this month in Sri Lanka, where Angelo Mathews has quit as captain in all three formats of the game in the wake of the country’s first-ever ODI series loss against low-ranked Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka Cricket named Dinesh Chandimal as the new test captain while Upul Tharanga will be in charge of the team in the shorter formats.
