Congrats Irfan!

Finally a sigh of relief!

I am not sure, whether all this drama was really needed. Any way!

I think Pathan should open the bowling with Zaheer Khan, and should be bowled for 2-3 overs in each spell.

Agarkar and Munaf should come 1st and 2nd change.

Irfan's batting ability, especially his fighting ability, provides stability to Indian batting order.

Harbhajan should be preferred over Kumble.

Is it not too early to congratulate Pathan? He may be a promising bowler, but the question mark over his present form still remains! The acid test for him begins now. If he succeeds in the World cup, he is indeed back, but if he does not, then he faces the risk of being dumped and not looked at for a long time. He is a match winner for India only provided he can get back his lethal edge. Otherwise, he is just an ordinary bowler. He will be under huge pressure if and when he is selected to play in the actual eleven for the world cup. Do congratulate him if he passes the World cup test!
