Ravi Shastri not to seek extension of contract with Cricket Board

Former captain Ravi Shastri today reiterated that his role as Cricket Manager of the Indian team was a one-off assignment and he would not seek to extend his contract with the BCCI.
Ravi Shastri "I like honeymoons anyway. The more the merrier. The thing is I was very clear right from the outset that I would do this job because it was tough time for India," the player-turned-commentator said after guiding the team to a 1-0 Test series win against Bangladesh.

"I was free, but I had my stand clear with the establishment that I was under a contract with ESPN-Star Sports who are my employers.

"Without their support, I don't think I would be doing this job. I am a professional, I believe in work ethics, I believe in contracts," he said.

Shastri was appointed for the series as a stop-gap arrangement as the Board was yet to a name a successor to Greg Chappell who quit after the World Cup.

The former Test player, who turned 45 today, is on the BCCI committee that has been set the task of finding India's next coach.

He refused to draw a comparison between his stint and the tenure of former coach Greg Chappell, saying "I don't go into the past, I don't look into the future. I focus on the present."
