No it is not right on the part of the selectors to send pathan right in the middle of an important tour.if they had sent pathan home, then they lshould have sent shewag and dravid &munaf also . when you send a player in the middle of a tour, the player loses confidence in himself.it is one way of thinking
second way of thinking. the selectors have applied a "red hot stove theory"this should be an eye opener for all other players who do not perform well
