Focus on domestic and bilateral cricket post-Corona : Ravi Shastri

Focus on domestic and bilateral cricket post-Corona : Ravi Shastri

India head coach Ravi Shastri has said that the BCCI should focus on domestic and bilateral cricket as and when the sport resumes.

Speaking to Times of India, Shastri said that he wouldn’t put too much emphasis on world events right now. “Stay at home, ensure domestic cricket comes back to normal, cricketers at all levels – international, first-class etc – all get back on the field. That’s the most important bit. Second: Start with bilateral cricket.”

The ICC is still mulling over the future of the ICC World T20 which is scheduled to happen in September 2020. With reports coming in that the big three boards are trying to get absolve the World Test Championship and ICC events for while to compensate for the financial losses they have incurred during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Shastri said that if India had to choose between an ICC event and a bilateral series, they should focus on bi-laterals. “Instead of 15 teams flying in, we’d settle for one team flying in and playing an entire bilateral series at one or two grounds.

“When cricket resumes, we could give the IPL a priority. The difference between an international tournament and the IPL is that the IPL can be played between one or two cities and the logistics will be easier to manage.

“The same thing with bilaterals – it’ll be easier for us to tour one country and play there at specific grounds than 15-16 teams flying in during these times. The International Cricket Council (ICC) needs to look at this objectively,” said Ravi Shastri.
