Shami has been away from India's white-ball setup since the 2025 Champions Trophy, while Jasprit Bumrah remains the only established fast bowler who has consistently delivered at the highest level.
India's pace department has also not completely settled in Mohammed Shami's absence. Apart from Bumrah, several options have struggled for consistency or are still establishing themselves at the international level.
That situation has led to questions over whether India could eventually turn back to Mohammed Shami for the 2027 World Cup. However, Karthik believes the selectors should continue looking ahead rather than returning to the experienced campaigner.
I wouldn't be looking at him even - Dinesh Karthik on Mohammed Shami's 2027 World Cup selection
Asked whether the selectors should consider Shami for the 2027 ODI World Cup, he pointed towards the other pacers available to the team.
“No. I feel there are other pacers, India have moved beyond him so there's point in going back. I wouldn't be looking at him even though he's bowled really well,” Karthik said.
I do think he did a lot of good things - Dinesh Karthik on Ajit Agarkar's tenure as chief selector
Dinesh Karthik gave a measured assessment of Agarkar's work, admitting that while he agreed with several decisions, there were also choices he found debatable.
“Yes and no. I do think he did a lot of good things, but at times I didn't. I felt that there were certain decisions which were always debatable, but remember, I think selector, being a selector, is a thankless job. So well done on whatever he did,” Dinesh Karthik replied.
