Team India’s head coach Ravi Shastri can leave his post after the T20 World Cup. If the Indian team makes it to the final of the T20 World Cup, which will be played on November 14, then Ravi Shastri will be with Team India for about two more months.

Shastri’s tenure as head coach began in 2017. After this, he was again appointed to this post in 2019. The T20 World Cup will be played in the UAE from October 17. Shastri, 59, is currently in segregation due to being found Covid-19 positive.

In an interview given to ‘The Guardian’, he said that he has achieved everything as a coach. Shastri said that if Team India is successful in winning the T20 World Cup, then it will be icing on the cake. Also, Shastri does not regret going to the book launch ceremony.

It is worth noting that Shastri and three support staff were found positive before the scheduled Manchester Test. After which the Manchester Test match had to be cancelled.

Ravi Shastri said, ‘I have achieved everything I wanted. Five years to be number 1 in Test cricket, winning the series twice in Australia, winning in England. I spoke to Michael Atherton earlier this summer and said it was the last for me – to beat Australia in Australia and win in England in the time of Covid. We are 2-1 against England and the way we played at Lord’s and Oval was special.

Shastri further said, ‘We have defeated every team in the world in white-ball cricket in their own country. If we win the T20 World Cup, that will be the most important thing. There is nothing more than this. I believe in one thing that never wait too long for your welcome. This is the most satisfying moment of my four decades in cricket.

This is Ravi shastri wish…

Shastri wants to end his tenure with the ICC Trophy. India could never win an ICC trophy under the pairing of Shastri and Virat Kohli.

He said, ‘We will lay down our lives for this. We definitely have a team that plays to its potential and can win. Most importantly, we will enjoy it. Forget the pressure of Test matches. T20 cricket means enjoy it. I want to leave with my head held high.

He said, ‘Yes, it will be sad that my stint with the team is coming to an end, because I have worked with many great players and individuals. We had a good time in the dressing room. But more than that, our cricket and the results we achieved made this journey wonderful.

Having security concerns, New Zealand abandon their Pakistan tour on Friday. This was going to be their first scheduled match in Pakistan in 18 years.

Cricket team said that moments before their scheduled match in Rawalpindi they received security alert from their government and decided to call the tour off.

“Following an escalation in the New Zealand government threat levels for Pakistan, and advice form NZC security advisers on the ground, it has been decide the Black Caps will not continue with the tour,” NZC said on its website. Now for their departure, arrangements are being made.

About this Pakistan cricket board said that Prime minister spoke personally to New Zealand counterpart and informed that they had one of the best intelligence systems in the world and no security threat of any kind exists for the visiting team.

New Zealand was all set to play 3 ODIs in Rawalpindi and 5 T-20 matches in Lahore and security arrangements of both the cities was cleared by NZC’s security team last month.

David White, NZC chief executive said that the advice he received made it impossible for the tour to continue.

Pakistan cricket board tried its best to convince them but this last minute withdrawal will disappoint cricket fans all over the world.

Pakistan had been a no-go zone for the cricket team for 10 years after terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009 during which seven people died and some cricketers got injured including Thilan Samaraweera, who is the batting coach of current New Zealand cricket team.

Sri Lanka’s star fast bowler Lasith Malinga has announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. He announced this on Tuesday. Malinga had already retired before Tests and ODIs.

Lasith Malinga said in a video on his YouTube channel, “The experience I have gained in the last 17 years will no longer be needed on the field as I have decided to retire from T20I cricket to retire from all forms of cricket.” . My shoes will rest but my love for the game will not rest.’

Malinga played the last international match in the year 2020. He played his last international T20 match against West Indies on 6 March 2020. Malinga has played for the Indian Premier League (IPL) champion Mumbai Indians. And is the most successful bowler of this league.

He holds the record for taking the most wickets in this tournament. He has taken 170 wickets in 122 matches. His best performance has been taking five wickets for 13 runs. Malinga has also not been included in the 15-man squad that Sri Lanka selected for the T20 World Cup to be held in UAE and Oman this year.

This time the Sri Lankan selectors have made Dasun Shanaka the captain of the team. Malinga has taken 107 wickets in 83 T20Is. 5 wickets for 6 runs has been his best. 

The fifth test match between India and England was canceled due to corona infection in the Indian camp. After the cancellation of this Test match in Manchester, questions are being raised on the function organized in London for the release of Team India’s head coach Ravi Shastri’s book, as it violated health safety protocols.

Shastri, bowling coach Bharat Arun, fielding coach R Sridhar and physio Nitin Patel were found positive after that ceremony at a five-star hotel in London ahead of the fourth Test. Before the fifth Test, Indian team’s assistant physio Yogesh Parmar was also found positive.

Now Ravi Shastri has broken the silence on this whole issue. He has defended himself. Talking to ‘Mid Day’, Shastri said, ‘The whole UK is open, there is no restriction there. Anything could have happened from the first Test itself.

According to news agency PTI, Shastri or Kohli did not take written permission from the BCCI to participate in that ceremony at the team hotel. A senior board official said, “Permission was not taken from President Sourav Ganguly or Secretary Jay Shah. Perhaps they felt that if there is a relaxation in health safety rules in Britain, then permission is not needed.

The official has said that Shastri or Kohli are unlikely to be punished for this act before the T20 World Cup. Shastri is leaving after the World Cup. If Kohli is the captain, then he too will not be punished.

Coach Ravi Shastri said this on the performance of Team India

On the performance of Team India in England, coach Shastri said that it has been the best summer of England cricket, the Indian cricket team has seen it after a long time. It is the time of Kovid, but all the players of the team performed brilliantly.

Before the England tour, Team India had also defeated Australia on the same soil. The Indian team had won the series 2-1. Ravi Shastri said that no team has played like the Indian team played in Australia and England during the Kovid period. Ask the experts here.

The board has taken this decision due to the increase in the cases of corona infection in the series. Till the fourth test match, Team India was leading 2-1 in the series.

The England Cricket Board also confirmed the cancellation of the fifth Test, saying, “Following ongoing talks with the BCCI, the ECB confirms that the match between the men of England and India begins at Emirates Old Trafford today.
