<p>Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes that the coach and the captain should have a say in the national team selection.</p>
<p>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&rsquo;t have a seat on the table.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think it is extremely important that the captain and the coach should have a say in team selection. I think going forward, both should officially have a say. Especially if the coach is experienced enough, like I was and now how Rahul [Dravid] is,&rdquo; Shastri told Star Sports. Head coach is part of the selection panel in Australia and England.</p>
<p>According to Shastri, himself a former India all-rounder and former Mumbai captain, the skipper must get to see the mindsets of the selectors. &ldquo;It should happen in a meeting&mdash;not on the phone or outside&mdash;where the captain is there, so that he gets to see the mindsets of the selectors.&rdquo;</p>
