“KL Rahul should keep behind the wickets in the WTC, as Rishabh Pant is not there. In England seamers will bowl more, so the keeper will be standing behind most of the time. He will strengthen the batting at numbers 5-6 and he did well in the ODI game in Mumbai. KS Bharat is a newcomer, it is not the case that we have to play him. Bharat will learn with exposure.

“He has got a lot of cricket to play, he is a fit man and can play cricket. When a player is in such a class when their meter starts, they hit runs quickly. Like they will get seven hundreds in 15 games. He has still 5-6 years of cricket left under him. It’s not easy to thing (to reach 100,100’s) but it’s a big thing. The volume of cricket is too much. When I was a coach we were playing multiple formats simultaneously. You have to see what’s important and choose formats accordingly,” he factors out.
Reduce ODIS to 40-over video games
Shastri reckons ICC ought to attempt to make ODIs a 40-over sport, holding in thoughts the eye spans lately. “They (fans) want action, they want short and sweet. If a 40 overs game happens, one will see all three formats of the game surviving,” he says.
Play extra home cricket
Shastri additionally needs the BCCI to place a clause within the gamers contract that they must play a specified variety of home matches yearly.
“Be it anyone. Batsmen can get better in playing spin, as Dal-Chawal (main staple) in domestic cricket are our spinners. The more one plays the better they will be.”
