Miraz - 21.5
Nasir - 9.4

Riyad has a match winning century and three fifties in the period, while Nasir has a 27 and a few single digit scores.

Only lame Nasir fans will try to continue justifying his slot in the team.
I think 2 years is a too large a sample size for evaluation in ODI. Players go through bad patch. He is going through it. Tamim did. Mushfiqur did. He needs a rest. Not all season he can be in form. Besides he is very pitch/delivery dependant. Too much luxury for such selectivity.
