“It’s on top of a conflict of interest. I really wasn’t up for it to that extent. Because you’re not giving chances to your own cricketers. Now with the Indian team I have support staff who can’t work in IPL. A masseuse with the Indian team cannot work with the IPL team. How is this conflict of interest now?” He stated within the Indian Express eAdda.
Shastri questioned the logic of non-applicability of the battle of curiosity clause to foreigners working in Indian cricket.
“The coach of one other nation, an IPL workforce can come and coach however you aren’t permitting your gamers to try this. Conflict of curiosity is bullshit. For somebody like me, not being allowed to do commentary (IPL) when I’m the coach of India, how is it a battle of curiosity? I’m not a selector of any workforce. How am I going to impress somebody by being chosen to play for India? Yet if there’s any Ricky Ponting who coaches Delhi Capitals, he can do tv in his house nation and touch upon the gamers who’re with him for Delhi Capitals. Conflicts of curiosity ought to be thrown within the bin on the subject of cricket in India. We want our cricketers to get publicity and get again within the system. How will you convey again Sachin Tendulkar or Dravid and contribute to the sport in the event you come all over the place and put battle of curiosity clauses?
Asked what he thinks about gamers having industrial curiosity in participant administration corporations, Shastri stated it shouldn’t be so. “Yeah, there it’s different. You need someone who comes in and says it’s not right, there’s a conflict here and there could be consequences in the future,” stated Shastri.
