No because Latham was scouted for the opening role. Batting at number 4 did him no favours. And he was always going to debut in the opening role in the west Indies regardless of what happened.
He was pretty much the only top order batsman on the domestic circuit with genuine, non-limited class.
Absolute blessing that they picked Ruds before him because he wasn't ready yet but even reading through some old Kippax comparisons it was pretty clear that there was only one batsman other than KW with quality in that young group.
