Tuesday, 2 June 2015
Former captain Ravi Shastri was on Tuesday named interim coach of the Indian cricket team for the tour of Bangladesh starting June 10. Shastri, who served as Team Director during the tour of Australia and the subsequent World Cup earlier this year, is a stop-gap arrangement for the short tour as the BCCI is yet to decide on a full-time coach to replace Duncan Fletcher, whose contract has ended."BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya has named Ravi Shastri as interim coach of the Indian team. This is for the Bangladesh tour and future decisions will be taken after this." BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said. India will play one Test and three One-Day Internationals during the tour of Bangladesh. Shastri represented India in 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for India and was part of the side, which lifted the 1983 World Cup, according to a news agency.
