Former Team India coach Ravi Shastri was asked to become England cricket team’s coach during the ENG vs NED Cricket World Cup match on Wednesday. During the game, a spectator in the stadium was seen with a hoarding that read, “England needs an Indian coach.”
Ravi Shastri, who was in the commentary box, was then asked by the former captain of England Eoin Morgan on his thoughts on coaching the England team.

The former Indian cricketer gave a cheeky response to the question, saying that “he would teach the team hindi”.
“Haa, humko bulao. Hum sabko Hindi Sikhayega (Most welcome. I’ll teach everyone Hindi), and some cricket as well”, Shastri jokingly said.
The clip was shared on the official Instagram handle of the ICC with the caption, “Ravi Shastri to coach England next? #CWC23”.

Notably, England had a horror run in the World Cup 2023, winning just 2 games in their 8 games so far. The team is in danger to miss out on the Champions Trophy 2025 qualification due to their standing in the World Cup points table . The Three Lions will need to win their final league game by a big margin to seal the Champions Trophy spot.
Currently, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, and England are in contention of the final two spot.
A loss for any two of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or the Netherlands would confirm England’s qualification.
However, if all teams in contention win their remaining matches, it will all come down to NRR.
The Jos Buttler-led side will play their final game of the World Cup 2023 on November 11 against Pakistan at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
