Mushfiq's situation is a bit different. He is coming here as an understudy to Pilot. He will play in a warm-up game or two so that Pilot doesn't have to play 3 matches in three weeks leading up to the Tests. So, the expectations from him aren't all that high. He will do fine in the warm-ups and a tour where he will be around the seniors will be very good for him. If Pilot had retired or was injured and we were taking Mushfiq in his place, that would have been a cause for worry. But he will be fine on this tour, I'm quite sure.
