The thing with riyad is that for a long time he’s had the physical skills to be a good international quality batsmen, for riyad it’s the mental side of things.
Nasir is probably stronger mentally but he lacks the physical skills to hang with the big guns at international level.
But then again look at Steve Smith so who knows. But I was a big backer of nasir returning then when I got a look at him against international quality bowling I just thought nup there are other batsmen in the pipeline worth giving opportunities to first. I still think his bowling is useful in shorter formats.
