It is not surprising that Irfan has been asked to go back - that's the way our Selection Committe has operated most of the time - unpredictably!! Irfan has no one to support/back him at the Board level and hence the Board is "bored" !!He is undoubtedly an exceptional opening bowler, who made us get tremendous advantage in the Aussie series where even the greatest of Left arm quickies - Wasim Akram - rated Irafan as a real find for India. Then, along comes, Guru Gregg who decided to test out Irfan as a Batsman and that too in different positions!! Net result - a confused Irfan, who is not sure what Role he has to play and naturally, his performance is not consistent. But then , does a Board of Selectors that has no "vision" except to have a fat coffer (earned from making the players over stretch/ play more than what's good for them), have any concern as to who is sent back and who retained!! If Indian team is performing below par, the blame squarely rests with the BCCI!!
