Timing. At the time it was the right call...just like quarantine, masking, and social distance was always the right call in the first years of the pandemic (to minimize hospitalizations and maximize survival rates).

To be fair, playing Wez can still be the right call, because you don't want a situation where he, Myers, Marumani, Shumba, etc are thrust into the first XI around 2025 with very few caps between them and expected to take over from Williams-Raza and Co.
It was never the right time to bring in Wes. He was only just finding his feet and getting into a rhythm with his white ball cricket and he got thrust into the Test arena and constantly picked expecting to come good.

Yes, we don't want all the youngsters coming in in one go, but he needs to be better managed because I don't think he is getting the development he should

Im not sure why they played Ngarava over Chatara.

If Chatara got injured, who cares, we have Evans.

But Ngarava pulling up badly could really damage us.

Willo should be rested too as traditionally he is made of glass.

Agree with this. Williams smashing them around was just unfair anyway.
