Irfan Pathan – Inconsistent performances and injuries were the main reason behind Irfan being absent from the national duty during the best phase of his career. Irfan could have been the permanent all-rounder that Indian team was looking for at that time but he could only survive in 29 test matches and 120 ODI’s. A player who made his debut at the age of 19, it was expected that he may serve country for 15-20 years but due regular hiccups in his performances he could not stretch his career. Still he hopes to make a comeback in the national team but with new generation of players cropping up and along with the number of injuries he is suffering from, he may never stage a comeback in the Indian team.
