Faisal Iqbal is a middle order batsman, and he has failed most of the chances he has been given so including him esp on top of order is only invitation to more failures. Faisal Athar on other hand has performed consistently in domestic as opener, he should be tried instead of Faisal in case Yasir doesn’t do well.

I know he is a middle order batsman.I havent followed his domestic peeformance lately but have heard that he has performed well. If he or any other batsmen wants to get in the side as a middle order it will be highly unlikely. So sometimes you have to chage your strategy to get desirable results. Indians tried yuvrag as an opener, th idea was right but didn’t work althuogh they should have given youvag more chances. Australians have tried clark as an opener by dropping hayden, althoough clark is a natural no. 6.
I don’t know abt faisal ather, if he is derserving he should geta chance. However I have a feeling that for next couple of series the only slot left now in the current side for any batsmen is the opening position.
