He's probably among the better of the Strauss replacements that have been tried. I'd rather have had him at 3 than Vince, but he didn't do himself any favours with his late season form. Still, it is what it is.
There is little doubt that Hameed has an England future, it's probably a question of when, not if.

Many England players do - drift out of the side through a combination of declining form or increasing injury problems, or both, while never being formally ruled out. Then one day there is a headline that 'XXX retires from international cricket', and you wonder what the heck happened to the player, and why he hasn't really been picked for the last year or so.
