Team India head coach Ravi Shastri intends to step down from his role after the T20 World Cup as in an interview with The Guardian, he said that he has achieved everything there was and he does not want to overstay his welcome. "I believe so because I`ve achieved all I wanted. Five years as No 1 in Test cricket, to win in Australia twice, to win in England. I spoke to Michael Atherton earlier this summer and said: `For me, this is the ultimate - to beat Australia in Australia and win in England in Covid times.` We lead England 2-1 and the way we played at Lord`s and the Oval was special," The Guardian quoted Shastri as saying.
"We`ve also beaten every country in the world in their own backyard in white-ball cricket. If we win the T20 World Cup that will be the icing on the cake. There is nothing more. I believe one thing - never overstay your welcome. And I would say that, in terms of what I wanted to get out of the side, I`ve over-achieved. To beat Australia away and to lead the series in England in a Covid year? It is the most satisfying moment of my four decades in cricket," he added. Shastri also said that there should be less international bilateral T20 cricket to ease scheduling pressures on the players.
