Perhaps!

I always backed him up at the ODI format though. Very stylish batsmen once he gets going.

Taylor and Riyad plays for the same BPL team.

He is valuable in the ODI, but for some reason he stinks in tests (lower batting average than ODI). In the ODI, he has saved us from middle-order collapse many times. He is quite handy with the ball also in ODI.

i still believe mahmudullah should be in both our ODI and test squad.

his talents and skills suggest he should be batting up in the order (3-4-5) but he has this mental block for which he is not performing there. if he can sort this out he can be a good option for no 3-4 in ODI's and tests.

i dont see too much hope for him in T20s. only when he can establish him as a good no-3/4 in ODI's or Tests only then i will call may be now he can be tested in the top order of the T20 XI

Do we know for sure that the captain and the coach wanted him to bat in top order i.e. did they approached him explaininh what they expect from him ? Something like "You are a batting all rounder but mainly a batsman; there you need to bat at #4/#5 and be suceessful to justify your inclusion; because of your skillset and our need in the team we cannot justify your inclusion batting at #7".

If they didn't approached him at all, then I guess the sissy is someone else who doen't want to confront him. May be he is too bully for the team selectors (Captain, Coach, Chahchu, ??) to even approach him with the idea and enforce that.
