Former India cricket team chief coach Ravi Shastri has said that the new England men's team managing director Rob Key has his task cut out as he begins the rebuilding process of the Test side after the heavy bruising suffered during the Ashes and the series in the Caribbean.

Quite like Shastri, who made the switch from being a commentator to guiding India to become the most successful Test side in the world, Key too is making a similar transition, and the 59-year-old India legend said that the most important thing is to set the tone "from the outset".
