With Pant and Sanju Samson waiting, this England tour could be his last. His form in the T20 format during 2018 has been outstanding.

In the recently concluded ODI series against England, Dinesh Karthik played only 1 match and scored 21. With the World Cup 2019 coming up, he could be a back wicketkeeper to MS Dhoni.
