Rahul Dravid and Zaheer khan’s selection as the batting and bowling coach will depend upon the talks they will have with the authorities, which are Amitabh Chowdhary and Rahul Johri

Speaking about Dravid and Zaheer, Shastri did not see any issues and felt they will be on board once they speak with the authorities. “I’ve spoken to both, as recent as three to four days ago and they are two fantastic cricketers of India. Their inputs will be invaluable. They will be on board once they have spoken to the authorities concerned,” said Shastri.

It all depends on the individuals, how many number of days they want to give. But their inputs will be invaluable and they’re most welcome. And I’ve spoken to both gentlemen personally.”

Shastri said that he was very clear in his mind what his core team should be and in his words – “what you’ve just heard is my core team.”

Acting BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary didn’t think all the confusion surrounding Dravid and Zaheer’s appointments was a matter to be concerned with. “In the first place, I’m absolutely clear in my view that it was not a fiasco. As Ravi [Shastri] explained, once he was announced he obviously had to think of his responsibilities that come with that appointment. And as he’s made so abundantly clear that he wanted his core team. The other two gentlemen he’s spoken to, they will be consultants and their contributions are going to be invaluable.”
