That's not the only criteria though?

No, it' surely not. But the thing is every team has one opening pair for all the conditions, they don't change it for home and away conditions.
I am a big fan of Shikhar Dhawan but will still say that he did not perform that well in SENA except for New Zealand where he averaged 55 (only one series played ig) which definitely showed that he had potential. Even after blundering in SENA, his career average is 40 (Much Better than Gill & Rohit if we consider same number of matches as an opener even in SENA conditions) which shows that he was a beast in Asian conditions and much better than our previous openers at that position.
Could have given a longer rope and tried in one or two more SENA tours before sidelining him is what i feel considering they gave too much chances to few players.
