Talking about the global crisis, the former Indian all-rounder admitted that the last couple of months have been 슬롯사이트horrible.슬롯사이트� 슬롯사이트The last two months, and a couple of more going forward perhaps, will count as the most horrible phase in the life of a sportsperson in close to seven or eight decades. Something like this is unimaginable,슬롯사이트� the India head coach was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
Shastri also said that cricketers are not the only people who have been affected by the pandemic as everyone across the globe is hoping the situation to get normal. 슬롯사이트The only consolation perhaps is that cricketers or sportspersons, in general, are not the only ones who슬롯사이트ve been left shattered by what슬롯사이트s happening. The world, in general, is suffering, waiting for normalcy to resume,슬롯사이트� he added.
Speaking about the return of cricket, Shastri said that priority should be starting domestic cricket including Indian Premier League (IPL) at first and then to follow it up bilateral series. As far as multi-national tournaments like T20 World Cup are concerned, the Indian coach didn't put a lot of 'emphasis' in that.
슬롯사이트I wouldn슬롯사이트t put too much emphasis on world events right now. Stay at home, ensure domestic cricket comes back to normal, cricketers at all levels 슬롯사이트� international, First Class, etc 슬롯사이트� all get back on the field. That슬롯사이트s the most important bit,슬롯사이트� said the 57-year-old further.
슬롯사이트Second: Start with bilateral cricket. If we (India) had to choose between hosting a World Cup and a bilateral tour, obviously, we슬롯사이트d settle for the bilateral. Instead of 15 teams flying in, we슬롯사이트d settle for one team flying in and playing an entire bilateral series at one or two grounds,슬롯사이트� Shastri opined.
