India’s head coach Ravi Shastri said he would have preferred a best-of-three final to determine the winner of the World Trials Championship. India and New Zealand will meet in the first WTC final on June 18 in Southampton, England.
“In the long run, a best-of-three final will be ideal as the culmination of two and a half years of cricket around the world. But we have to finish it as fast as possible due to FTP that will start again So once is only once. The boys have earned their rights. This was not built overnight. When you start to be on top, you have the ability to get on top, ”Shastri said.

“It is the first WTC final and considering the magnitude of the game, it will be the biggest,” Shastri added.
Skipper Virat Kohli agreed, adding: “This has a lot of value. We all pride ourselves on playing test cricket. Very happy to play the final ”.
Shastri also spoke about two Indian teams playing different formats and how that could be the way forward.
“Right now it is happening because of the current situation with travel restrictions. But you never know, in the future, if you want to expand the game, especially in the shorter formats of the game, then it could be the way to go. Why not? “He said.
“If you have that volume of cricketers and want to spread the word about the T20 game, that could be the way to go. If you are thinking about the Olympic Games in 4-8 years, then you need more countries to play, ”he added.
