After Chahal’s revelation, Shastri proposes life ban for offender
Xtra Time Web Desk: Former Team India coach Ravi Shastri came in support and reacted to Yuzvendra Chahal's allegations of physical harrasment, saying that the authorities should ban the offender and never let him enter the cricket field.
Reacting to the incident, Shastri said it’s “no laughing matter at all”.
“I do not know who the person involved is, he was not in a conscious state of mind. If that is the case, then it is a big worry. Someone’s life is at risk, some people might think it is funny but for me, it is not funny at all,” Shastri told ‘ESPNcricinfo’.
“It shows the person who is trying to do it is in a state which is not appropriate. When you are in such a state trying something like that, the chances of mistakes are even more. It is not acceptable at all.”
Shastri further added, "It is the first time I am hearing such a drastic thing like this. It is not funny at all. If such an incident happens today, a life ban for that person involved and send that person to a rehab centre as quickly as possible.
“Life ban, better not come near to a cricket field then he will realise how funny is it or not funny,” Shastri stated.
Shastri, a former India all-rounder, also said that it is important for players to report incidents like these at the earliest, instead of waiting for something tragic to take place.
