Pathan has been failure as a bowler, but analysing the batting performances of the entire team, Pathan was doing good. He was the only player to have scored a century during the practice match. He could have played as a batsman.
He could have also bowled few overs in the match, which would have brought his confidence back.
Also considering the fact that Zaheer, Ganguly bounced back after lay offs, similarly we are confident that Pathan will also bounce back very soon.
