“He’ll be selective. He’ll be open to working with an IPL franchise. Year-round travel is something he would like to avoid now,” The Times of India had quoted as sources close to Shastri as saying.

Shastri was impressive with Team India in bilateral tours but failed to guide the team to a title in ICC tournaments.
