Former all-rounder Ravi Shastri has been appointed India coach until the 2019 World Cup in England.
The 55-year-old will replace Anil Kumble, who resigned following India’s Champions Trophy campaign in which they lost to in the final to Pakistan.
Kumble said he stepped down after one year because his “partnership” with captain Virat Kohli was “untenable”.
