I would want Talha as the cover. Simply because he has more upside and should be the reserve in the test squad.
Chacha can be in the one day squad if one must, but not a necessity. I am not getting carried away with his NCL performance.
I know that you and I talked about the need for a no.6 specialist batsman in the one day games in this forum before. It continues to fall on deaf ears! what can you do. You know actually Shahriar Nafees can be tried at no.6 in one dayers or at no.5 for a few matches in the warm ups. Added bonus is that he is a lefty. He will be able to play freely because he is coming so low down the order. Won't have the pressure of opening as I don't want to remove rajin from the opening slot either. Worth a thought. Tushar probably has more experience playing that position head to head.
