i definitely wouldn't push them straight from 7/8/9 to the #2 or #3 spots, none of them are really openers we would need to see if they can succeed in the middle order before giving them any higher promotion. i would probably move riyad to #4 though, put him there for a few test matches and see how he goes and bring in another spinner so he doesn't have to worry about the bowling so much.

Yet our management keeps them playing at lower order where they are completely unfit. As a result....we all know it.

This seems to be the most Likely Case!
