Shastri was one of the main reasons why India reached the semi finals of the recently concluded cricket world cup. The news of Shastri’s appointment comes in as Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman have been roped in by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to be part of the advisory committee. The trio will have a meeting with BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya and secretary Anurag Thakur on June 4 and 5 to discuss further strategies including appointment of a new coach and support staff.

With Ravi as the head Coach, Assistant Coach Sanjay Bangar, Bharat Arun and R Sridhar will continue as assistant coaches till the committee renews their tenure or appoints a new set of support staff for the team.
