The Indian selectors ignored Irfan Pathan for the Zimbabwe tour despite naming a second string side for the ODI tri-series and two Twenty20 internationals.
The 25-year-old overcame recent injury setbacks and came up with a good showing in the Indian Premier League last month. He finished with 15 wickets from 14 matches and also played a stellar role with the bat, scoring 276 runs in 14 matches, to follow up on a good season in domestic cricket for Baroda.
