The Indian team and management has a high regard and expectations from Pathan, knowing his talent. It definitely is a right move, as they are not dumping him but keeping him on the run to be competent and confident. As Vengasarkar himself said, Pathan will come back soon and come back better. It should be starting of a good precedent and it should not end with Pathan. Sehwag, Dhoni and if required Dravid should follow him too. You should send them away from playing 11, not for the sake of meaningless experimentation, but to challenge themselves and to keep them confident, competent and waiting to prove in every opportunity they get!!
