IPL 2022: Ravi Shastri slams BCCI's constitution, terms it 'stupid' due to THIS reason

Ravi Shastri will be making a comeback to commentary in IPL 2021 after his 7-year coaching stint with Team India.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri lamented the ‘conflict of interest clause' of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) which prevented him from doing commentary in the Indian Premier League (IPL) while donning the head coach's role.

"This is the 15th edition of the IPL, I did the first 11 years and then thanks to some stupid conflict of interest clause that exists in some stupid constitution that binds us, you could not do the last few seasons," said Shastri in a press conference on Tuesday organised by Star Sports, the official broadcaster of IPL 2022.

Asked about Suresh Raina who is set to do IPL commentary along with him, Shastri said, "You call him Mr. IPL, I could not disagree. He lit up the IPL, to play consecutive seasons for a team without missing a match is a real big compliment in itself. He is one of the highest scorers in the history of the competition."
