I didn't think having Shastri continuing as a Head Coach would have any reaction as it was already expected well in advance with Kapil Dev & Anshuman Gaekwad standing in Ravi Shastri's favour.

Hesson should sue BCCI first given how they butchered his name on an official document.

Can you be a bit specific ? I am not aware what happened with him.

Problem with English vocab you could say ? I don't see a problem but I think if you are in BCCI atleast you need to have sound knowledge regarding the language or atleast should have the basic general knowledge to spell Hesson's name.

Think it was widely expected that Shastri was going to be awarded the second term. Going purely by India's performances in the last two years, including winning 45 ODI games to losing 15 ODI games it seemed inevitable that the selectors would go for Shastri once more. But the question I have is, how much of an impact did Kohli's words have on the selection of the coach? He blatantly and publicly shown supports Shastri which is a big thing on its own with the speculation that it causes.
The selection of Shastri for another two years also exposes the attitude of Indian cricket, which is to purely continue the successes rather than tackling the glaring problems that are seen firsthand, with the huge middle order problem and the inconsistent selection of players which robbed India of potential wins over the last two years. Shastri and Kohli as a duo failed to address these concerns and they could not solve the #4,5,6 puzzle to the ODI team, which is why India were stopped short in that semi final. Yet, Kohli remained very happy by the top of the table finish rather than seeing what India's dream could've looked like once more. This is down to the stinking attitude that Kohli and Shastri have in store for the future of Indian cricket.
A change in coaches would have helped solve the problems of the missing puzzles to our already strong teams in all formats, a tactician is what was needed to solve the issues rather than pure gut and reckless decision making. Hesson or Moody have had great successes over the years and Moody in particular has been cheated out of a role that could've been suited for him.

Don't think it's such a big thing that is warrants a discussion for it.

My original post was intended to point out how much this entire process of interviews and selection is a sham, given that they couldn’t even get the name of their second choice correct.

Wow! Extension till the 2021 WT20? Not even 2020?
Why is there a world cup in 2021 when there is one in 2020?

Same happened in 2009 & 2010. I can't really understand ICC tournament scheduling apart from the WCs. And also sorry to say but WT20 isn't a World Cup to say the least. If it was then ICC would've named it as T20 World Cup. It is just a tournament where the winner earns the title of T20 Champions.

Not surprising at all. Feel bad for Tom Moody. If I'm not wrong this is the second time he has been turned down for the same position and there's nothing wrong in that provided the better candidate won.
I've no doubt in my mind that Kohli was a major, if not the only one, factor in this decision outcome.
Looking forward to more bilateral wins and faltering in the knockouts.
