India move forward with coach Duncan Fletcher and team director Ravi Shastri

Duncan Fletcher will continue to lead India through the World Cup with Ravi Shastri retaining his role as team director.

Fletcher's future as coach came under scrutiny when Shastri was appointed before the one-day series with England, but they emerged from that series with a 3-1 win and only lost the dead rubber before going down in the sole Twenty20 international.

There were concerns the Shastri appointment could mark the end for former England coach Fletcher, but a statement from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said nothing would be changing, at least in the short-term.

A BCCI statement, made after a meeting of their working committee, read: "The committee expressed its gratitude to Mr Ravi Shastri for having accepted the request to oversee the activities of the Indian team as a director for ODIs and the T20 International during the England tour.

"Mr Ravi Shastri will oversee the activities of the Indian team as a director during the West Indies home series and the Test series in Australia. He will be with the Indian team on a full-time basis during the triangular series in Australia and also for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

"Mr Duncan Fletcher will continue as the coach of the Indian team."

Fletcher was appointed as the India coach in 2011, just a few weeks after the team won the World Cup on home soil under former South Africa batsman Gary Kirsten.
