His absence has once again become a talking point following criticism of India's bowling attack during the recent ODI series against West Indies.

India won the three-match series 2-1, but the bowling unit struggled at times on batting-friendly pitches. Despite those concerns, Karthik does not believe bringing Shami back is the answer.
