riyad did have couplop half century at # 7 and also have century and 90s at #8 , so switich his batting order wont be a big problem in future . he did do the captaincy on 1st BPL on all games , but 2nd edition he gave away for 2 or 3 matches to taylor bcz he thought he wouldbe a better option , but he did the final trick ,under his captaincy they won 2 crucial semifinal games and put the team into the final , and not to forget he is been captaining in NCL , dhaka leage , premeier leage over the years . plus riyad is 4 times more expereinced than nasir if u combined the odi between them , twice in test ,not to mention how many years . i dont have problem with nasir , but he still too young and looks pretty young to the team , if he can continue 1 or 2 more years , than he can become consideration for captain
