He has played for the country and has done well,” Raman said. “You need to try and give him as many opportunities as possible for him to get back into form, as he is young and has got enormous talent,” added Raman.

Shaw was dropped after an indifferent first Test in Adelaide, but since then scored heavily in the domestic one day competition to force his way back into the national team. “I think you would probably have Shikhar [Dhawan] opening, because one is that he is the captain and two you would think of having Shaw. He has played for the country and has done well,” Raman said. “You need to try and give him as many opportunities as possible for him to get back into form, as he is young and has got enormous talent,” added Raman.
