New Delhi: Former Indian spper Ravi Shastri will continue as the team director of Indian Cricket Team at least till 2016 ICC World Cup Twenty20.

The BCCI had named former batting greats Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman to a cricket advisory committee, which advised the board to extend Shastri's tenure.
