Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that it is "extremely important" for the captain and coach of the Indian team to have an official say in matters pertaining to selection in addition to the selectors themselves.
The Indian captain and head coach should have an official say in selection matters apart from the selectors going forward, Ravi Shastri has said. Shastri said that having the coach and captain's word on the matter is needed for India going forward.
