Another one is Mehrab Jr, who use to be a lower middle order batsman in Under 19 and middle order batsman in A-team or Academy team but selectors made him a opener, where he fails mostly.. Hes a good middle order batsman..

Yeah, I had the Mehrab example in mind when I posed that question.
Opening the batting is the most specialised role in cricket. There's no more surefire a way to ruin a career than to try and convert a middle order player into an opener.
