Done and dusted

Even if he average 100 this FC season at 42 he wount be picked because he probably shouldn't

The great man had a great test career but let's admit it's over for good

It's a pity the WI selectors rejected Shiv when they did. They could've persisted with him, the way Pakistan have persisted with Misbah. The PCB are allowing Misbah to leave on his own terms...credit to them.

In Shiv's absence, the Test team loses series after series....

How have the Test batsmen performed in the PCL, compared to Shiv?

I would fear for Shiv's life if he were facing Starc or Wahab Riaz.

If the basis for selection is and should be performing at the regional level then...

Is this a true statement, Wi was losing with Shiv in the test team, Shiv has the record for the most loses

Agree that he could have played longer but you cannot bring him back now

Since sarwan left the replacements haven't met his level as yet so they are far off from Shiv

So what is your reason why he shouldn't be picked?

True, but you don't replace a Ferrari with a Volkswagen. lol

Shiv should have stayed until someone just as reliable comes along.

i do not think shiv should have been dropped but since he has been out of the game and is now 42 i think time has passed on his recall

in the words of donald trump "it's unpresidented" smile

The team should be based on performance. Shiv was dropped when he was not performing. If he's performing now and seems still capable, there is no reason why he shouldn't be picked.

At least, he seems more committed to the game than Lil' Bravo.
