WTC final: 2 Indian teams playing different formats is way forward, says Shastri

Head coach Ravi Shastri feels that two India squads travelling to different places at the same time could become a norm in the mentally draining world of bio-bubbles.

India head coach Ravi Shastri on Wednesday said that the two India squads travelling to different places at the same time could become a norm in the mentally draining world of bio-bubbles that cricketers are forced to live in amid the Covid-19 pandemic. “Playing with two squads in different locations regularly is a possibility in the long run,” Shastri said in the pre-departure press conference. While the Kohli-led side leaves for the WTC final against New Zealand and a five-Test series against hosts England, a second string India squad will soon be picked for the limited-overs tour of Sri Lanka in July.
