Speedster Irfan Pathan would be returning home from
South Africa to play in the Ranji Trophy games for Baroda, BCCI
sources said today.
BCCI administrative head Prof. Ratnakar Shetty told
reporters here that the decision to call back the struggling paceman was taken
by chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar in consultation with the team management
in South Africa.
Pathan has recently been struggling to find his rhythm and
looked low in confidence while bowling and was left out of the first Test in
Johannesburg which India won by 123 runs.
The selectors, along with the team management, felt that it was better if Pathan
was sent home to play the domestic tourney where he could find his form and
rhythm once again, Shetty said
