I guess it was a right thing to be doing to send Pathan back owing to poor form. No player in the side has to take his place for granted. Pathan has been going through a turf over the last 8 months and didn't deserve to be picked in the first place. I guess the decission to send him back was only a corrective measure.
Kudos to the selectors for their gutsy decission to re-call Pathan as it highlights the fact that he didn't deserve to be there contrary to their decission of picking him for the tour. He might have batted well but the intend was to pick a bowler for the job.
I would have appretiated if they had also decided to re-call Shewag. This is another slot that needs to be given to a more deserving hand. Shewag is all about a hand-eye co-ordination and hence is the absence of a sound technique, it is too tough for him to visit his form.
