it is very good for Pathan. Becoz this player has been recognised as an all-rounder. No doubt that he improved his batting at the same time bowling performance has fallen.interestingly this player does not liked to be introduced as an all-rounder and emphasised many times that he wants to be known as bowler and if so he should have improved his bowling rather his batting. so if can improved his bowling by playing domestic cricket it will help India in coming world cup as his batting is a plus point for him.
