We had the template in face of Chanderpaul who looked ugly but prolific in intl cricket. Similarly, Fawad could've come in easily during Butt or Misbah era if Hafeez Azhar opens and Fawad adjust on one down place. But due to dirty politics in country, one can only talk in hindsight.
He scored debut century in opening position, that would invalidate our point#2 and for record Pakistan had unsettled opening place in Misbah era. Not many people know, that PCB power brokers had grudges against his father , who was also FC performer and great player of spin bowling.

Agree with your 3 points but he was not selected for a long time after Misbah's retirement, wasn't that unfair
