Were you hoping for another bat or another spinner with Rehan? I think they have their batting covered, and with it only being a two match series Leach should be able to do the work, with Root and Jacks to support.Surprisingly Rehan Ahmed didn't get picked for the tour

As a spinner, but moreso not wanting him to think he has been "dropped" I guess if the support is around it should be ok, he has a massive future and as you say they exposure would be great.Were you hoping for another bat or another spinner with Rehan?

Though it would have been good to have in the squad for exposure. Hopefully he does become the next #1 spinner after Leach
He has been selected to play white ball games in Bangladesh

He wont be dropped. He's still very young, so England will invest in him for the future.As a spinner, but moreso not wanting him to think he has been "dropped" I guess if the support is around it should be ok, he has a massive future and as you say they exposure would be great.
I remember Baz pleading to the IPL franchises to select him. Currently playing in the UAE.McCullum after the Pakistan Test said they wanted him to play as much cricket as he can (ie franchise cricket) when he is not around the Test team. IIRC he is off to play some T20 league cricket.
Why do England play so much more than everyone else, even a tour without WTC points on the line? We would never do that, have to be led kicking and screaming to play anywhere that isn't England or India.
I'd like us to play as many tests as England FWIW, and we can play smaller nations by playing our next tier of players down if the top guys want a rest.
This would give other guys exposure to test/international cricket, and lower ranked nations crying out for more tests (like Ireland) could get to improve themselves even against an Australian 2nd or 3rd XI.

So would I and agree on the smaller nations. We have been woeful at that
