WTC Final Should Ideally Be Best Of Three In The Long Run, Says Coach Ravi Shastri
Indian men's cricket team coach Ravi Shastri on Wednesday called for a best-of-three final instead of a one-off match to decide the World Test Championship (WTC) winner, ahead of the final against New Zealand beginning on June 18 in Southampton.
"Ideally, in the long run if they want to pursue with the Test championship, a best-of-three final would be ideal -- a three-match final as culmination of two and a half years of cricket around the globe. Best of three would have been ideal," said Shastri in a media interaction on the eve of the team's departure for England.
