These guys were also NCL/Age gp stars, why they were taking time? Because they weren't adequately prepared before calling for the national team. That time we had a ire situation in the national team. Now we can't do the same mistake of throwing under cooked players in the test team...if there are better prepared, they will take less time to adjust...
the problem is junaid was dropped from the national team and did nothing but a one-off 180+ FC score to get a recall. what a player needs to do before getting recalled is to work on their problems otherwise they'll be just as poor when they return. also imo it's silly to select someone who hits a one-off 180+ score when you have others that are scoring a lot lot more runs more consistenly, that clearly means they are more ready and more prepared than junaid.
