Rohan, Rahul is not wanted in the ODI team anymore.
We have better ODI multi utility players than him...who don%u2019t need time to settle and can start scoring as asoon as they are in. ODI cricket is evolving batsmen who gring runs are losing importance. One of the main differences between IND and Pak in the ODI series has been that pak have too many batsmen who take time to settle...younis, mhmd yusuf, to some extent shoaib malik etc. So despite some of these guys scoring heavily pak lost. Look at India...on numerous occasions when we lost wickets, that didn't affect our scoring run-rate...since Rahul was not in the team. Yes he is certainly useful in holding the batting together when we start losing lot of wickets, but then that happens just once in 4 or 5 matches and just for that odd match/situation we don%u2019t want him in the team. Anyways we end up losing that match, only the inevitable gets delayed.
But yes he will be considered in ODI series downunder (in austrailia), but not any more in sub continent conditions.

sorry boss , i am a staunch non - supporter for Rahul Dravid in one-day format, because the way he performed like an old man in the before indo-pak series was way below par for any 1 day batsman, i can count number of matched lost due to him.

Rohan I do not remember which one but in ODI's he is not fit. He really playes slow and build the pressure on others. He is great batsman and perfactly fit for Tests. If selectors keeps him out of tests as well, I am really surprised. But for one day and 2020 No Rahul
