I hope pathan lost confidance in his bowling for last 3-4 months........he's trying to get back his old bowling skills but he came to a understanding that to be in a team he need to perform either with bat or ball......
This is the reason why he's trying to improve his batting skills than bowling skills.........
At this moment,it is not right decision for him to send back to home.......(keep in mind that he can bat well........just see in practice match when everyone failed he made a century in fast bowling pitches......this is not enough..he played well in many matches when entire team failed).............
see styris has come into team as a bowler in newzealand team and got settled as important(at no.4) player in their team...........why can pathan stay in india as a batsman.......and try improve his bowling skills.....a good bowling coach will defnitely improve his bowling skills.
