Shastri appointed India head coach
Ravi Shastri will be in charge of India until the 2019 Cricket World Cup after he was appointed as the successor to Anil Kumble.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed the appointment of Ravi Shastri as the country's new head coach on a two-year deal.
Former India captain Shastri was overlooked for the role in 2016 after a stint as team director, with Anil Kumble instead appointed.
However, following Kumble's departure in June, which the outgoing coach blamed on an "untenable" relationship with skipper Virat Kohli, the BCCI have now turned to Shastri.
