Calling Irfan Pathan back was a rediculous decision

Calling Irfan Pathan back home was a stupid and rediculous decision, it is not justified as well. There were many other non-performing guys (without mincing words I say this) like Virendar Sehwag who should have been managed like that. Hardly things are achieved by de-moralising a hard worker and upcoming player like Pathan; instead so called concerned official including hon'ble Mr.Dilip Vengsarkar and the coach must have had a one-to-one consultation with him and guided.

Were these guys sleeping till the ODI's get over? how many players havn't got failed and to how many of them these selectors, captain, coach and officials have spoken and discussed about reason for not doing well? Why is that in 6 innings' including 4 ODI's top 5 batsmen were allowed put an aggregate of less than 1000 runs? I think there is more to the issue than calling Pathan back home to play domestic cricket.

The team management repsonsible for this decision has a wrong thing. It would discourage other youngsters like Suresh Raina, Munnaf Patel and others, induce a feeling of insecurity, preventing them from playing natural game, also encouraging seniors to take the team management and BCCI lightly.
