With India’s Test commitments overs till the World Cup the focus is on limited-overs, but IPL’s proximity to the World Cup will be a concern for India players who will feature in the IPL 2019 heavily.
“We’ve been in touch with the BCCI and CoA in this regard,” Shastri told The Times of India from Sydney. “We have certain plans in place and we’ll be looking to follow them. Usually, the two months of IPL are seen as relatively free months for me and I can just sit down and enjoy the cricket, watch out for new, young talents that keep emerging. But this IPL will be about monitoring the players, keeping the World Cup in mind.”
