Anybody to put light on what Dinesh Karthik has done recently to be in team? He's been selected number of times but all he has done is 'nothing'. Always disappointing to the team. Still remember when he was selected in 2013 CT after successful IPL but badly flopped there.

Excerpt from the cricbuzz article --

 

 " KL Rahul faced the axe after a string of low scores against Sri Lanka and not having had game time against Australia. Umesh and Shami, too, met a similar fate having not done enough to impress the selectors in the limited opportunities they got. "

What?? This is a shocker, shami and umesh dropped??? wth is wrong with these moron selectors?? I can understand rahuls omission might well be injury and inconsistency issues... . and Dinesh karthic?? God save us, he is selected only for dhoni to look good can't find any other reason but dropping a quality pacers like shami is pathetic,
This is some 90s esque "sifarishi" selections.
