New Delhi: Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri says the T20 format is not for bilateral series between international teams, but should be restricted to the World Cup only. Let us know that This statement of Ravi Shastri comes ahead of India's five-match T20 series against South Africa. Shastri, one of team India's most successful coaches, also feels that given the enthusiasm of the sports lovers, as far as the shorter format is concerned, the best way will be the T20 World Cup in two years with franchise cricket.
Shastri said, "A lot of bilateral cricket is being played in T20s. I have said this before, even when I was the coach of Team India. It was happening in front of me. It should be on the lines of 'T20 cricket' football. Where, you just play the World Cup. No one remembers the bilateral tournament. It is worth mentioning that Shastri's tenure as the coach of Team India ended last year. He said he "does not remember a single T20 match except the World Cup during the last six-seven years of his tenure as an Indian coach". '
Shastri further said, "A team wins the World Cup, they remember it. Unfortunately we don't, so I don't even remember that. Franchise cricket is being played all over the world , every country is allowed to play their franchise cricket, which is their domestic cricket and then every two years you play a World Cup (T20). '
