After the season he's had this year, I think he definitely deserves a call up for the upcoming friendly against Morocco. Rezaian is the only RB that is in better form than him at the moment. Vouria was sensational during the Asian Cup and looked to have locked up that position for the next 3-4 years, but it has been all downhill for him since he joined Esteghlal.
Keep in mind that CQ doesn't care about whether some of the younger domestic talents have higher upside/brighter futures when it comes to WC 2018 in Russia. He is going to want a squad of gritty professionals that give him the best chance to win and advance in that tournament. That was evidenced by his decision to carry extra insurance with an old veteran like Alenemeh as opposed to a young up and coming striker like Sardar for whom the experience would've been invaluable in 2014.
