Why is Robbin Uthappa still not playing for India?

Whenever provided with a chance, he underperforms on the international level. Much like Dinesh Kartik

Why was he not in the t20i squad against West Indies?

Well you have got a valid point there but I think he had fair enough chances at one point of time. I think for a player like Uthappa all that matters is not how many runs he scores in first 10-15 matches but how much commitment you show in early days of your career. And I guess he failed there. Just look at Dhawan or Rahane, their initial performances were not all about centuries but even low scoring innings had lots of promises.
Well interesting stats here. Actually first 20 T20 matches he played, he only got to bat in 10 innings only. That is how it works in this format of the game, i guess.
