Shastri to Continue as Indian Team Director Till 2016 WC T20

New Delhi: Former Indian spper Ravi Shastri will continue as the team director of Indian Cricket Team at least till 2016 ICC World Cup Twenty20.

The 53-year-old Shastri will continue to be supported by assistant coaches Sanjay Bangar (batting), Bharat Arun (bowling) and Ramakrishnan Sridhar (fielding), whose tenures have also been extended until the March 11-April 3 tournament.

India have been without a head coach since Duncan Fletcher left in March when his term came to an end after India's semi-final defeat at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The decision has been taken in absence of appointment of a full-time coach.

Under former cricketer-turned commentator, India had recently won the Test series in Sri Lanka after a long gap of 22 years

The BCCI had named former batting greats Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman to a cricket advisory committee, which advised the board to extend Shastri's tenure.
