Aussies during Sunday's big win over India in Sydney<\/a>. The all-rounder in his first ODI for Australia in three years, picked up a wicket and finished with a bowling economy of 4.86 from seven overs.<\/p>\nThe 33-year-old's performance on the weekend served as a fresh reminder to just how valuable he can be according to Taylor. <\/p>\n
Henriques, who's also the captain of the Sydney Sixers, has only featured in four Tests for Australia. <\/p>\n
Despite picking up a maiden half-century in his first-ever innings and then backing it up with 81 in the second innings in a debut Test against India in 2013, the all-rounder was eventually dropped before the series ended and could never cement himself a spot in the squad. <\/p>\n

Taylor said Australian selectors' decision not to give Henriques more opportunities at Test level has been one of the biggest mistakes they've made in recent times. <\/p>\n
"I don't think he will [feature in the Test side]," he told 2GB's Wide World of Sports Radio.<\/p>\n
"I was delighted to see him do well [against India].<\/p>\n
"I've been a big fan of Moises. I think it's been one of the few mistakes selectors have made over the last decade.<\/p>\n
"They picked him in 2013 for the infamous homework gate series in India which we lost 4-0.<\/p>\n
"Moises had a very good first Test over there and was dropped for the last and then they didn't take him to the Ashes in 2013.<\/p>\n
"Really, he hasn't been a major player since then." <\/p>\n

Taylor was confident that had selectors stuck with Henriques, they would've found themselves a permanent top-six batsman who could also bowl. <\/p>\n
"If they stuck with him post-2013, they might have found themselves a bloke he could have batted in the top six and bowl a few handy overs," he added.<\/p>\n
"And as we saw the other night, he can catch. He's very good in the field."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
