No, I don't think its a good move to send Irfan Pathan back to India to play Ranji. What I think is since Wasim Jaffer who is in starting eleven and coming as an opener for India, doing nothing. He is also not n good touch. So in place of him Indian team can put Irfan Pathan as an Opener and can ask him to play little faster. They can make use of his bolwing also. I think pathan should be in team in place of Jaffer.
