If a player is being sent back due to his poor then whole indian squad should have been sent back and totally a new side should be sent in.
Also to add if Irfan pathan's form is poor then what about the some of the useless cricters like Sachin, Sehwag & Jaffer? Especially when an experienced guy like sachin was unable to exploit the conditions then no point in sending back pathan home.
Also it should be remembered he is a geniune alrounder, remember that he was the one who saved us in both innings of the practice match prior to the first test. Altogether they have not done any good both for the youngster's moral, or for the future indian team.
Finally only one question does any one in the team management have courage to send back tendulkar for his poor performance in the whole series? I think no does have that.
