Bhuvi is still unfit and will not be considered for last two tests

[Nikola]

IDK why we can't get rid of this trundler? He is good for tests only when conditions help. He will replace umesh for overseas conditions and umesh has to work has ass hard in asian flat roads. Then these bhuvi bhakts will say he is great bowler looking at his stats in tests. 

In odis he is worst and most overrated bowler we ever produced. Look at his pathetic average of 38-40. He gets most wickets these days when spinners/bumrah have already gotten key wickets. Please get rid of him asap and let him enjoy the IPL.

Shami is probably our best all conditions bowler .... Guys like Bhuvi, spinners, etc require specific conditions to be effective 

agreed only shami is bowler who can play in all conditions. Bumrah is bit raw to consider right now. Umesh is more effective in non-helpful pitches.

One place where Bhuvi could have been utilized by Ind was Eng test series. Don’t know in near term in which upcoming series can he be as useful as in Eng .... Shami and Bumrah are likely to be the top 2 bowlers in conditions that don’t favor swing   .... Ind will probably infuse the squad with new pace bowlers as well in near future 

 

Bhuvi should have planned his recovery period and said no to playing in the ODIs.  Now he can take as much time as he wants to recover. Play T20s

I would drop him from worldcup too. In odis he has been pathetic. If attacked he leaks many runs too. He will have flat pitches in worldcup and will be even more ineffective than he is now a days. We can't take risk of going with hardik pandya + bhuvi as both are similar trundlers in terms of picking wicket and avg. I would either drop hardik pandya or bhuvi for one quality pacer.

Shami is inconsistent as well.
