[skindia]

http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/775111.html India allrounder Irfan Pathan is confident of making a "comeback" to the national side, and has said he will focus on using the Ranji Trophy matches to make his presence felt. Irfan has not played for India since 2012 due to injury. "Irfan will return very soon. For that my focus is on the forthcoming Ranji matches," Irfan said. "I will play all the Ranji Trophy matches and if you play four-day cricket, it would be easier to play one-day cricket. "Before or after the World Cup, I am sure that I will soon be playing for team India." Irfan, who represents Baroda in the Ranji Trophy, said: "I am very excited about Ranji Trophy matches. I will contribute towards bowling and batting as well. The experience that I have gained in so many years is an advantage. I will use that advantage and try my best to make a comeback." When asked about the India's Test performance in England, he said: "It will not be proper to comment about it, but seeing the performance during the last one-day game, I hope the team will continue to perform like this." He also backed the out-of-form Virat Kohli. "I think Virat will definitely get his form back. He is an excellent and confident player. Neither we nor his fans should bother about Virat's performance during a particular season. I am very confident that what has been happening to him will make him a better player." © PTI

[rkt.india]

I will play him as 4th seamer on conducive surfaces in WC as an alrounder.

Not happening Looked a useless cricketer in IPL

[kosingh]

Another one of our get slower and slower and slower with every season type bowlers. Gotta make sure I'm fit for IPL as whatever cost type cricketer also.

[putrevus]

When guy like Binny gets to play tests matches , Irfan is 1000 times better than him any day.

[Marco Polo]

Nonsense.

You know they're done when they become deluded enough to start speaking of themselves in the third person.

[Laaloo]

Irfan wouldnt even make the team for the local gymkhana now

[undisputed chap]

Would like to see him do well for Baroda. Needs to be bowling 133+ kph to be back + improve a lot on his batting if he wants the all rounders spot.

[BlueBee]

I'd back him if he does well.

[Cricket_Hacker]

Looked like a club level cricketer in the IPL and a domestic one-day (was bowling <120 kmph )

[CSK Fan]

Ooh, what is he showing? Dhoni would be interested

[ThePhenomenal1]

dont really need him tbh

[gakgupta]

tired of hearing this so many times .... he has the stuff to represent india but not the fit body ..... even if he is fit, it will not take long before he gets injured again ..... he should go to a best ayurvedic doc or acupuncture to see whats wrong with his muscles / ligaments ..... i haven't seen such a fragile body ....

[jf1gp_1]

When guy like Binny gets to play tests matches ' date=' Irfan is 1000 times better than him any day.[/quote'] absolutely i would take a returning-from-injury irfan over binny any day any format.

[putrevus]

absolutely i would take a returning-from-injury irfan over binny any day any format.

He is already better than jadeja and binny without ever bowling one bit. Binny playing test match and binny jadeja playing in same team is biggest joke no wonder team looked useless.
