Former India male’s cricket crew chief coach Ravi Shastri has categorically mentioned that he’s not interested by filling the vacant place of England males’ head coach after Chris Silver wood stepped down within the wake of the 0-4 Ashes thrashing in Australia.
The 59-year-old former India cricketer added that seven years on the helm of affairs — which noticed India win 10 take a look at collection out of 14 and rose to No. 1 within the rankings, beating Australia twice in their very own yard — had taken its toll.
Requested in an interview by The Guardian if he could be interested by filling the vacant England submit, Shastri mentioned, “Oh no, no, do not go down that route. Seven years with India — a full-time job, 300 days a yr, 1.4 billion individuals judging you daily — that takes its toll. Good luck to anybody who lasts that lengthy.”
Shastri also felt that if Ben Stokes decides to take up England captaincy, it could "fire up" the all-rounder to give an even better performance on the field.
“The adrenaline of captaincy — not that he wants it — may fireplace Stokes as much as be one thing much more than the unbelievable participant he’s now. The essential relationship is with the captain — the second there’s friction, issues go downhill. However they are going to be fantastic as a result of the England I noticed final yr, they’ve sufficient expertise and talent to compete. There is no doubt about that in my thoughts. It is all about their mindset.”
Shastri is convinced England need to bring out-of-favour pace bowlers James Anderson and Stuart Broad back into the side, as "there is no substitute for experience". The most successful England bowling pair has aggregated 1177 Test wickets so far.
“Take a look at cricket is the purest type of the sport and, if the blokes are match, hungry, you jolly effectively look in that course. Each nation makes this error, trying too far forward. It is too simple to look 100ft away and lose the plot by not backing the blokes who’ve been there and executed it.”
