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.
