No.3 is a specialist position. Naeem won't be a solution here too. Basically he is a good middle order batsman who comes in no.5 or no.6 position for his divisional team in NCL. While playing for the A team, he used to play in this position too. I am afraid until someone good for this position arises, we have to bear Ash. Sad but true.
Ash is not at no.3.

Unless we find someone from outside, and given what we have among the current crop, I do not see anyone but a stop gap solution in Rahim. I do not think Rakib is ready. I am reluctant to move Riyad that high and Sakib is where he is. We can always go with Siddons three opener strategy, but so far, it hasn't yielded to anything significant. Moving Rahim up also brings in Naeem in the team.
