Captain and coach should have a say in team selection, says Shastri

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes that the coach and the captain should have a say in the national team selection. A captain sits in the selection committee to give his inputs but decision making power lies with the five-member selection panel while the coach doesn't have a seat on the table.

Kohli, during his pre-departure press conference ahead of the tour of South Africa, said that he was never asked to stay on as T20 skipper when he made his intent clear on relinquishing the post. Shastri, who has served Indian cricket in various capacities, also said he wanted to establish Rohit as an opener. "It was very clear in my mind that I wanted to
