So it clearly shows that even their domestic side preferred Dhiman as the keeper.
As for having Dhiman in the team, I'm hoping the selectors keep him in mind for Tests especially. Mushy's keeping in Tests has not been very good at all and as we know, a drop in Tests could mean a guy could go on to score a 100. I feel Dhiman could be our answer as our Test wicketkeeper and should be our wicketkeeper in that format. As for the shorter versions, again it's a possibility. Mushy hasn't proved to be the answer at #4. So the question arises, do we really need him that much at #5-7? I feel we could easily slot Dhiman in there and see what he has to offer. Again he might not be as effective as Mushy but has Mushy been all that great with the bat? Plus Dhiman would more than make up for it with his keeping. So the selectors should definitely think about Dhiman in their plans for the national team.

What i am thinking is that if Dhiman had the same time and opportunity as mushfiq, who knows we could have had a better wicket keeper batsman right now. Mushfiq is a hardworker but his development as a batsman over the years has been really slow.
