^ And who would you get rid of to make room for SN to take this backward step?

In Tests, our top 6 is the most experience we've ever had. I can only see him replacing Riyad but I don't see Riyad getting dropped. Plus, Riyad has a proven track record in NZ with 3 100's. SN never played there.

In ODI, the lineup is very well set, even guys like SS, Anam, Nasir can't make the cut anymore.

In T20I, I can see him playing a Hussey type role, but we don't nearly play enough T20I. I wouldn't take a player in NZ just to play 3 T20I. At home, understandable if you want to bring in Alok and SN for the T20 series, but again, we don't play enough T20I.

I agree with you on experience. Experience in T20 is highly underrated. Every team had that wise head for situations like the ones we had vs IND. But I'm not sure how SN could've done better if two of our sr player with all their experienced made a horrible mess of it?
