No. I would be interested to see who you would leave out from the 6 local players to play him though: Shakib, Ash, Mash, Mosharraf, Saqlain, Anamul?
The reality is the balance of the team didn't allow for more selections. Also, we have a top order that included Dilshan, Stevens, Cobb, Gayle, Pollard, Wright - at various times - so an extra batsman at number 8 possibly wasn't the plan.
Rocky is one of my favourite local players. He and I get on brilliantly. We also made sure he was in good form during the tournament in practice, in case we had injuries and loss of form from local players.
I see from the Final innings in the Walton matches, he is showing that great form
