While there is no denying the potential that Pandya has,it doesnt look like he will be needed with the bat,more so in the subcontinent.In this case would it be better to play a spinner(Mishra/Kuldeep) or a pacer(Shami) in his place?

You have to be completely out of ur mind to drop him, I will definitely play him,since he is a rare quick seam bowling allrounder we have been looking for, plus a brilliant fielder not to forget one of the cleanest and big striker of ball, infact I will also add hooda to squad, giving us more options.

In T20's our top order is going to bat the majority of overs,even Dhoni will be under utilized as a batsman let alone Hardik.Playing a bowler who will consistently give us four overs is better imo.Hardik should deffo be in the squad though

For me Pandya is a must. He will get a chance to bat at some stage. To me, he looks like he is ready for International Cricket and I like his fielding as well. 

He may have to work on his bowling though. But, since Australian pitches were dead flat, I will wait for the next series to decide about his bowling abilities.

He always looks charged up which is good. In one dayer bowling is important as well esplcially 5th bowler. But Ashwin/ Jaddu/ Mishra/ Nehra/ Ishant as last 5 and Dhoni at 6 our batting will rely heavily on top. Balance have to be there.

Pandya is more of a batting AR. He didn't even get to bat because of our top order batting really well. SL series is the right place to experiment. He should be sent up the order to see what he can do.

Pandya will have to work upon his bowling..It was more like club like bowling,bowling wide outside off stumps...I like his zest,always active and energetic.

+1,

He bowled rather expensively in the T20 series.

I hope team india give him the full srl series to prove his worth,more overs and hopefully more time to bat.can't discard a genuine tslent like that especially when you need a hitter low down.

although that being said ,shami replacing pandya gives another solid bowling option ,its the bowlers who'll win you games

well if he is being smashed in Aus, in theory in India which is not pro pace bowlers he is more likely to be smashed.

In which case you will be banking on Raina to cover his quota in the middle overs.
