Ravi Shastri places onus on players, BCCI after India's heavy WTC Final defeat

London, Jun 11 (PTI) Former India coach Ravi Shastri on Sunday sounded sceptical about the possibility of players getting extended gap after the IPL or practice games ahead of future WTC final matches unless there is a change in thought by all the stakeholders.

After India suffered a huge 209-run defeat against Australia at the Oval, head coach Rahul Dravid said arriving in England at least two weeks earlier and playing some side matches would have been ideal for the team ahead of the big game.

However, Shastri did not buy into the idea and put the onus on the players to make a choice.
