It would help if Taylor got some runs. As for McCullum, he's playing in an incredibly competitive team, where Shakib, Brett Lee and RTD are also failing to get games. Kallis bowls, therefore Morgan is the only person McCullum can realistically come in for, and he's doing OK. McCullum is hampered by the fact he wasn't available at the start, and it's also asking a lot for him to be regularly picked when he's not going to be available for the business end of the season. Might as well let Morgan get some form.
Shakib is actually with Bangladesh team in ZIM tour..

Kolkata seem to be stuck with Kallis. He's a poor T20 all-rounder, with a poor batting strike rate, and simply not one to throw the ball to, but he seems a premier all-rounder for them. It will eventually hamper their campaign. Ideally, KKR should field McCullum (when available), Morgan, RTD and one of Sena and Narine. That's a T20-ready combination.

Taylor's struggles in the IPL are surprising.

Eyes not spreadsheets
Why only one of the 2 good spinners to play an average batsman who can easily be replicated by a local?
