I just want to chill at this stage. I will definately go back to television & media, the thing which I love the most”, declared Shastri on The Indian Express E-Adda.

According to the information coming in from high-placed BCCI sources, the board in next day or two will officially issue long-pending Letter of Intent to CVC backed Ahmedabad franchsie.
“Yes, the 3 member legal committee has cleared CVC Capital & they will be issued letter of intent now from the board. The formalities will be completed soon”.
It is worth noting that after fingers were pointed at CVC for alleged investments in the betting companies, BCCI had appointed 3 member legal committee to look into the allegations.
Now the appointed committee has given their GREEN-SIGNAL to the ownership of CVC Capital for Ahmedabad franchsie. This is the reason franchise personnel have got active and have started reaching out to potential coaching staff members.
