Fawad Alam in preliminary test squad

Well, it is good to hear that Fawad Alam is being included in the test squad. I hope this translates into a selection. Fawad has played well domestically for the past few years with limited international opportunities. He has also shown a penchant for batting higher up in the order, and with the absence of Mohammad Yousuf, that is an area where help could be needed. It may be worthwhile giving him a try at the 2 or 3 down positions. one wonders if he has been unable to reach his potential as we have been consistently batting him at #7 to 9. Good luck Fawad.
