Certainly, he can do the same job as Layne/Anderson bowling and he would offer us more batting

Look at his record in the last few tests he has played or in the regional red ball and you will see he deserves to be where he is

He was injured when he left the test team. I think he still has a lot to offer in the test arena

Holder looks quite happy playing T20s in the UAE.

They made him captain too.

I think that he prefers that to five days of toil in New Zealand.

He did say he was open to playing test cricket again so I am sure he would make time in his franchise calendar.

Select him and put him to the test. Holder over Chase any day.
