Ironic coming from someone like you. Actually its trigger happy people like you who are the reason. First you will clamor to bring youngsters into the side and then want to sack them at the first sign of failure. And this guy hasn't even failed. So far he has played 4 series:
Bangladesh: second highest scorer for Pakistan and fourth highest overall
Australia: top scorer for Pakistan and second highest overall
Sri Lanka: second highest scorer for Pakistan and third overall
England: fourth highest scorer for Pakistan, eighth overall
Why would anyone in his senses replace a youngster who has only played a few FCs and yet has produced these stellar results in his first year of international cricket? The only reason would be if you have a wealth of talent and there are great prospects waiting in the wings. Are there? Who will you replace him with? Abid? Shan? Almost all people around the Pakistan setup are unanimous in their recognition of his talent and his viability as a long term prospect. We have needed a proper test opener for years and he has the potential to be one. Yes he has a weakness but every player does. Imam and Shan have heavily flawed techniques, they are sitting ducks against the moving ball yet Abdullah is the one who should be dropped. Even Babar struggled a lot against left arm spinners but he worked on it. What makes you think Abdullah won't be able to overcome this weakness? As for the flat pitch argument, how is that his mistake? The wickets were the same for all the batters, yet he scored when others didn't.
He has just started and there is no doubt that there is room for improvement. But he topped the QeA charts this year and has consistently shown that he belongs at this level. He will only get better by playing at this level.
