Let him address this issues first and show some sign of his fitness/form only then we can talk about getting him back. Otherwise it will be same ol same ol garbage in garbage out situation.

I dont think its a form issue for Riyad. He did get starts in pretty much every game in WC just couldnt convert it to a great finish. I dont even know whats the problem with him at the moment but I think he is still our second best T20 player in the side and for a team thats ranked no.10, you cant afford to drop your second best T20 player like that despite his other format records.
But if he is injured, he should be rested. Dont understand why he wasnt for this series.
