He would fare way better if he played in the middle.
Yasir as his 'replacement' is taking up space. No pun. His catch in the last match was oustanding and probably only thing keeping him afloat.

This, Riad maybe not scoring runs at a high pace down the order but by no means he is a weak middle-order batsman. If Mushfiq is going to play his role, let him play the role mushfiq was playing. Yasir needs to be dropped for the WC (keep him around for the future - not sure why - I have not seen anything significant from this guy), in his place, put Riad back in (even if on the bench).
