Sports News | I Might Be Commentating in 5th India-England Test: Ravi Shastri Hints at Picking Up Mic Again

Dubai, Nov 9 (PTI) Outgoing India head coach Ravi Shastri has hinted that he might return to cricket commentary.

"I mean, if you look at -- if you want the real highlights, nothing beats Australia. England, we're up in the series. It will be the longest time we'll be up in the series until next year.

"I might be commentating on that game for all you know, but I'll keep that one area. It feels good," Shastri said referring to the pending fifth Test against England which was rescheduled to next year due to a COVID-19 outbreak in India's camp in September.

Speculation is also rife that he might take up a coaching role in the IPL.
