Hameed has been dropped by Lancashire.
There goes his 2018 test recall hopes.
What we must remember is that he's still only 21!
While he clearly has the talent and looked very assured in his (brief) Test career, he's nowhere near the finished article yet.
He could have been propelled into the limelight too soon, and the weight if expectation may be a contributing factor to his form.
I for one am backing him to come back stronger, but we (England fans) can't pin all our hopes on him, as many seem guilty of. He's almost certain to get back into the side at some stage, and has time on his side to do so, but he was never going to be an overnight solution to the opening dilemma that's been a plague since Strauss' retirement.
