I agree. Pilot's experience should count more than how he's batting for now. I believe staying under his shadow, our inexperienced players will learn quite a bit. Btw, I don't know how old Mashfiq is...lazy to find it out.
I think I also like the idea of playing Mashfiq as a batsman for the first little while. That will make him get set in that department before anything...which we really need. Plus, he can come in to help if Pilot needs some rest (say in test matches). I'm not sure about the consequences though. Will this effect his wicket keeping skills?
