Sources in the BCCI were quoted by a premier tabloid saying that Shastri had reported his unavailability to the Board even before the tour to Bangladesh.

With Shastri not being there, one of the members of the support staff, most likely Assistant Coach Sanjay Bangar would be handed over the responsibility of taking charge of the team on the tour. Ravi will join the team for the important tour to Sri Lanka tentatively scheduled in August and September this year, and it is also believed that the board is in no hurry whatsoever of appointing a coach and would instead opt to carry on with Shastri as Director till the World T20 2016 which will be hosted by India.
