Shahzad only got because he's an excellent keeper (from the admittedly little I've seen of him) and he's a powerful hitter, which is all you'd really need for a guy coming in down the order after players like Smith, Williamson Root and Cook. Obviously he hasn't played test cricket yet, yeah...
Very grounded thank you. What don't you agree on? I'd imagine some people would be surprised at the lack of Kholi, but I've always rated Rahane above him in the longer format.
