Focus on youth keeping World T20, Test Championship in mind, says Shastri

The Hindu  

Head coach Ravi Shastri says focus will be on investing in youth during his second stint as India begin preparations for next year’s World T20 and the later stages of the ongoing World Test Championship. “The path should be that knowing well you have got 12 months to go for the T20 World Cup and you have about 18-20 months to go for the World Test Championship,” Shastri told the Gulf News on his return from the tour of Caribbean. “Getting youth in during that transition period is important so that they can mix with the experience and give us a really solid side.” Read: India coach Ravi Shastri to get hefty salary hike in new contract The coach stressed on the consistency and developing bench strength. At the same time, Shastri said that with points at stake, World Test Championship is a serious business.
