Shah’s statement comes one day after current Delhi Capitals coach and former Australian international Ricky Pinting told ICC.com that he had one-on-one conversations during his time in the IPL 2024 and he subsequently turned down the possibility citing his current lifestyle and the fact that a full-time coaching role with the Indian team means he cannot be involved in IPL.
