Pathan is an asset if not as a bowler (since he is having a lean patch) but he can bat much better than our so called openers viru and jaffer. he is good fielder and a bowler who can win matches. calling him back our team has lost a good sports person probably forever. he may lose his heart on batting and move towards concentrating on his bowling. we will have another chandra in our team. if the board wants to call back non performers then they have to call back half the team including Sachin.Viru.Jaffer. capt.Dravid. hope better counsel prevail and such things should not be repeated in the future
