England team director Andy Flower has warned his batsmen that selection is "not a closed shop" following the series whitewash by Pakistan.
England managed to make more than 200 only twice on the way to a 3-0 defeat.
Flower told BBC Sport: "There is a point where it would be stupid to continue along the same path.
"I don't think we're there with these players. This is not a closed shop, but this group of batsmen have done an outstanding job for England."

The tourists' main struggles in Dubai and Abu Dhabi came against Pakistan's spin bowlers, with Saeed Ajmal, Abdur Rehman and Mohammad Hafeez taking 48 wickets between them.
"You don't always succeed, and when that is the case it can create some doubts," Flower added. "The best players come through those moments of doubt."
