On Sunday, BCCI president Anurag Thakur confirmed interested parties for the role had three weeks to apply, but given India's limited-overs tour to Zimbabwe starts on June 8 an interim measure needed to be put in place.
That sees Bangar handed control of the touring party, stepping up from his role as assistant to Shastri.
The 43-year-old will have Abhay Sharma alongside him as fielding coach for the three one-day internationals and three T20Is.
