India’s bowling coach, Eric Simons, has given signals that the left-arm medium-fast bowler, Irfan Pathan, is ready to make a comeback in International cricket and claimed that the bowler is gradually regaining his old form.
Irfan stormed into the scene in 2003 and impressed one and all with his ability to move the new ball with pace. A number of cricket analysts believed that the youngster had shades of legendary Pakistani fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292. However,
the left-arm bowler lost form after the couple of years and eventually lost a permanent spot in the national team.
Pathan is very useful with the bat and could turn out to be a world-class all-rounder if he is able to be more consistent with the ball. This is the reason why a number of former cricketers are urging the selectors to show faith in Pathan
because the Men in Blue desperately need someone who can bat lower down the order.
Simons is also the assistant coach of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils and Pathan plays for the same franchise. The Indian bowling coach is extremely impressed with the way Irfan is regaining his touch and said that very few cricketers have the ability
to bounce back and make adjustment to their techniques.

aspects technically."
He further revealed that Irfan was bowling brilliantly by the end of the previous season of the Indian Premier League and he saw amazing improvement. He is hopeful that the left-arm medium pacer will continue with the form and be more consistent now.
"By the end of the competition, he was bowling with decent pace and swinging the ball pretty late. He was troubling a lot of batsmen with the swing. He was taking wickets upfront time and again. The progress was tremendous in that period and probably above
expectations, as he was under pressure in a competition,” he added.
