It is the selectors\u2019 job to decide whether he will be in the team or not,\u201d Amarnath said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nothing against him but tell me, what has Dhoni done in the past one year after winning the World Cup? Unfortunately, he has been in the team only on past records,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Amarnath said that there are better wicketkeepers in Indian then Dhoni, \u201cA wicketkeeper-batsman stands more than 30 yards away from the bowler and other fielders, so how can he communicate with them? Moreover, I feel there are better wicketkeeper-batsmen than Dhoni in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Former Indian captain Dilip Vengsarkar agreed with Amarnath, he said, \u201cIt is not his call.

We do not know the exact nature of his contract with the Board but he is not even looking at players from the domestic league.
