Definitely not. This will lose his morale. Any player if sent back on loss of form in midst of a tour other than on disciplinary ground would do no good. We have seen too many changes in batting order, swaping the position indescriminatley, with the result most of the batsmen finding it difficult to adjust. It was all done in the name of experimentation. No team in the world has done the kind of experimentation Chappel Dravid combination have done. The result is, we are in a mess. Even if the move was best intentioned, this is not justified because people like Sehwag and Jaffer are still finding place in Indian Team. Does not this apply to Pathan? I recall Vengsarkar staying when he landed in SA, that no player would be sent back home. He will have to eat his words now, for whatever reasons he has uttered those words in from of the media. Although we won the 1st Test, we are still in a mess. I have respect for Dravid as a great Batsman, but as a leader his position in the team is arguable. Pathan is a fantastic player and let us hope he will find his position in the team like Ganguly and Zaheer.
