Picking him in the ODI squad (read "squad", not XI) based on his DPL performance was probably alright, but I personally wouldn't have played him in the Tests solely because we haven't seen him play any longer version cricket lately. I'd play a spinner instead - given the state of our batting, having eight batsmen in the XI isn't any better than having seven.
