'Why not give Ravi Shastri a full go as India coach?'

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has said that Ravi Shastri is doing a good job as Team Director. 

"At the present moment, he (Shastri) has been asked to continue as Team Director by the board till at least the Sri Lanka tour.

"Even Anurag Thakur has said in an interview that after the Lanka tour, we will sit and find out if we need a coach. Because we have enough people (support staff) in the team. 

"Ravi is the director of the team and I don't see any difference between a Director and a coach," Ganguly's answer was indicative of what his take was regarding this issue. 

Being part of the BCCI cricket advisory committee alongside Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman, Ganguly is happy with the recent developments in Indian cricket.

"So that's the way board has thought about it. With Sanjay (Bangar) and Bharat Arun and the fielding coach, we don't need any more than this at the present moment.

"I think they were very wise in giving Ravi a full go after he joined the team in England last year, so it's been just one year and why not give him a full go," he added.
