Does anyone else think it's an absolute travesty that this kid is being kept out of the test side and a regular ODI spot?

He might take a little bit of time to find the consistency in test matches that he's had in domestic FC cricket but his talent is far ahead of many youngsters of today's cricket and i think Pakistan are making a huge mistake by constantly leaving him out of the test side. it's not like he did poorly in his early test run either.

less similarly but still questionable is the way he's being managed in ODI cricket, he's done a fine job in ODIs and for some reason was dropped and was only recalled on the basis of now playing as a wicket keeper batsman and not a pure batsmen when he warrants selection of his previous ODI exploits as a pure batsman.

during a time where Pakistani cricket is having trouble finding consistent players and talented players, this kid is right in front of them, he's proven domestically, he's proven internationally yet they still question him and don't back him.

even if you leave test cricket out of the discussion, why will they only pick him in the shorter formats as a keeper batsman? he's clearly a quality ODI batsman, he should be in the team regardless of whether he keeps wicket or doesn't.
