The selectors also considered Alex for the Test squad - and although he's not been included on this occasion, he made a good impression in Pakistan and is one of a number of spin bowlers we have chosen on the A tour.
His figures may not always look as good as some of the other spinners around the world but he fulfils a crucial role in our attack.
He is a very good spinner. He gives the ball a good twist and has a very bright future.
