Well, you have given two slots for pacers. But should the situation ever return that injuries and in-competencies force us to go with a 1 man pace attack. Then that 2nd pacer slot is freed up. So then the question will be, whether we go with another specialist spinner like Mosharraf( Shakib,Razzak,Gazi and Mosharraf as spin dominated strategy) or another all rounder( Zia or Mahmudullah who each have their strengths and weaknesses).
Like I said,depends on the situation, but yeah provided that the management will probably never go with less than 2 pacers(which I think is wrong as one can always strategize according to need),then Mahmadullah's position is perilous. Which will be so awkward as he is the VC.
