The Board of Control for Cricket in
India (BCCI) confirmed through their
official Twitter account on Sunday,
that Ravi Shastri would continue as
Team India director till T20 WC 2016 to
held in March in India. BCCI also
extended the tenures of assistant
coaches Sanjay Bangar, Bharati Arun
and R Sridhar. These extensions have
been made based on the
recommendations of the Cricket
Advisory Committee (CAC) comprising
of former players - Sachin Tendulkar,
Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman -
board president Jagmohan Dalmiya
and secretary Anurag Thakur.
"Acknowledging the performance of
the Indian Cricket team and the efforts
of the coaching staff in recent times,
the CAC endorsed the extension of
their tenure," a BCCI release said.
Shastri was brought on board as the
director during India's tour of England
in 2014, even as Duncan Fletcher held
the position of the head coach.

Shastri
remained in the position through the
Australia tour as well as the ICC World
Cup in 2015. Fletcher parted ways after
his contract expired after the
showpiece tournament and
speculations of the BCCI appointing a
new head coach were rife.
The Indian board had renewed
Shastri's contract ahead of the team's
first assignment after the World Cup -
the tour of Bangladesh in June. India
suffered a shocking defeat in
Bangladesh and Shastri did not
accompany the side in their following
tour of Zimbabwe, kicking up
speculations once again. However,
Shastri was part of India's historic
series win in Sri Lanka and has been
rewarded with another extension until
next March. SOURCE
