Actually, let me correct what I said - Naeem/Riyad are not so settled in the Test team. Riyad was previously highly valued as a utility player. In ODI, he should be still valued as the 5th bowler, but in Test he is redundant now that we have Gazi. So, if they don't perform consistently with bat in Tests, both positions should be up for grabs. But at same time, selectors should not rush them out after one single failure, as they often do.
