Ravi Shastri criticises Rahul Dravid for opting out of New Zealand series; says rest during IPL enough

Ravi Shashtri, on the eve of the 1st T20 between India and New Zealand, said that he doesn’t believe in breaks, and thinks that the 2-3 months break during the IPL must be enough for a coach as he needs to be hands-on with the team. 

“I dont believe in breaks. Because I want to understand my teams and player and then be in control of the team. What do you need that many breaks for? You get 2-3 months of break during the IPL that’s enough to rest. I feel coach should be hands on.

In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya will assume the captaincy duties. India’s tour of New Zealand will be aired on Prime Video online and on DD Sports on television
