“We have a settled line up between Nos 3 and 7 but the opening slot is not as consistent as the rest of the order. There are issues and we are looking at a couple more options including Shan Masood and Salman Butt,” Misbah told Cricinfo.
“Salman is playing well and overall I didn’t see any such difference since he left [in 2010]. He is a good prospect and he has also scored ample runs after his comeback. Watching him in the nets he looks good, but now we have to see how well he will do in the upcoming tournament.”
But British govt could block Salman Butt’s Test recall. However, he served just seven months of the sentence before being allowed back to Pakistan under the UK government’s early release scheme, which means that the person is formally deported and cannot return to the UK within 10 years of the end of the original sentence.
In a section relating to refusing visas, the UK Home Office website states: “If a person has been sentenced to a period of between 12 months and less than 4 years imprisonment, the ECO [Entry Clearance Officer] must refuse the application until 10 years has passed since the end of the sentence.
“The end of the sentence should be taken to mean the entire sentence imposed, not just the time a person spent in prison.”
