Umesh is the best old ball bowler in India right now. He is our reverse swing specialist. 

Umesh can be third seamer ,

Having him as fourth seamer lengthen the tail,if reverse swing is the parameter then we have no one better than Shami

But considering him over Pandya means 

Five specialist bats ,one allrounder and 4 specialist bowlers

Agreed on Shami. But his fitness level is damn poor

Pandya is not a 4th pacer only,  He is our batting alrounder.  his role is completely different. Umesh is playing as the first pacer in this test.

Pandya is too inconsistent with the bat and also, he is not a wicket-taker.

If the wicket is green ,would you still prefer Umesh?

Pandya in his short career hasnt bowled that much bad 

Umesh after n number of matches still fails to impress in conducive conditions

Why not? We have always been weak wrt bowling and have always given away 50-100 runs extra even on a bowling pitch. I'd prefer 5 proper Test bowlers.

Yup,that is true,but Umesh has to up his pace a bit,this is west indies

But against Aussies he needs to be on top of his skills

But i would want Siraj ,Saini in Aus who can bowl long spells between 140-145

So , haven't you witnessed anything where Umesh was wayward,

Despite Being a frontline pacer he has leaked too many runs on, be it conducive,flat decks

Wont want him to be fourth pacer where he just elongates the tail

If he plays he has to be second or third pacer with more responsibility
