I would personally give him 2 more series in the Test team before thinking about dropping him.

I agree with is, there is too much chopping and changing of roles for players whether it's a new player or accomodating and out of form older one. We are talking of giving liton a debut batting lower order in he longer format whilst keeping when he doesn't even do that in domestic cricket. Guys like naeem weren't really bowlers before national team runs but in the team were made to bowl. Soumya hasn't really bowled that much before, now mushy considers him a test pacer.
Best of giving players specific roles and sticking with that rather than changing things constantly, got to think long term. Here will be occasions where youngsters will come in lower down the order and move up whey get experience and improve and as older players retire but other than that there shouldn't be too many role changes inside the team, and certainly players shouldn't be picked and then their role changed once they get to the team, some may handle it but it's making it tough for them to succeed and almost setting em up for failure, we need to give them e best chance to succeed if we want a strong team.
