Going to be interesting to see which 3 of Mohammed Abbas, Shaheen Afridi, Imran Khan or Naseem Shah Pakistan go with for the first test.
Serious talent for a 16yr old.

Much better than teams being forced to contrive results, would mean batsmen would be exposed to better spinning conditions having fifth day pitches and would hopefully improve our overseas batting.
Would allow batsmen who are becoming increasingly inpatient due to t20 cricket the opportunity to build massive scores if they are good enough.
Just a thought anyway.

Skip to one minute in and the question is asked in regards to Bancroft, seems they like his flexibility to play at the top or in the middle order like he has in one day cricket.
"He has the ingredients to be a very good Test player, he just has to put the performance on the board when he is given that opportunity," national selector Trevor Hohns said today, adding that Bancroft will likely be the back-up batsman in the squad.
"Everything else about him is the sort of thing that Justin Langer and the selection panel want from a player.
"He's the ideal person to have in our squad. He's a hard worker. He was left out in England after a couple of Test matches, but he's had the bit between his teeth, he's worked very, very hard on his game and the improvement in his game is quite noticeable."

Yeah not sure why the love for Bancroft. Average first class record, average test record.
