In fairness to WI admin, they have not shown Shiv the door yet in tests---they showed him the door in onedayers---but he is still around in tests.
Anyway, as long as Shiv keeps performing as he has since 2007---in 47 tests since Jan 2007 Shiv has scored 4094 runs at an average of 70.58 with 14 hundreds and 21 fifties---as long as he keeps performing---and as long as the young players remain average or mediocre----WI admin will be compelled to keep Shiv in the test team.

But if the young players magically start firing---doing well in tests----then it will be lights out for the great man.
