Agreed. Right now, Malan's role looks very questionable. In what looks like lower scoring games, Malan chewing up balls in the power play isn't much value and these don't look do far like the type of surfaces where it is easy to increase the strike rate dramatically. Root on the other hand is England's best rotater of strike and would be a useful bowling option on slow low pitches
It is right saying Root would be great on these pitches but he hasn't played T20i for over 2 years and was never going to go.
Malan is such an interesting scenario, they have picked him to make it batting heavy but yet he's not batted in the top 6 when they were chasing 55!
Has he suddenly become our finisher batting at 7?
Or are they going with a solid 1st 3 off Roy, Buttler, Bairstow and then 4, 5, 6 & 7 are depending on conditions and game situation?
