It was not right to send Pathan back. Pathan was even batting freely than other batsman by seeing the present situation of the Indian Cricket Team. He made 100 odd runs before the test series. If he was not bowling up to the mark than give him couple of more changes to show some good performance. If he is not bowling like he was but he is batting better than the other indian good batsmans. He is a real allrounder in our team which we were struggling to get from last number of years. So he should be a part of present indian team. He should include in team for next couple of series and world cup too.
From my point of view, Sending Pathan back to india in between the series was very bad decission taken.
Example: What was the need of Munaf Patel included in the last test match? He did not do anything in the Match? If Pathan would have been in the team other than Munaf Patel, he would have shown some improvement in the batting or in the bowling side of the indian strength....I would say consider him even if he is not bowling upto the mark. Consider his allround performance, not only bowling.
