NEW DELHI, Dec 26: Indian fast bowler Irfan Pathan will return home from South Africa following his unimpressive performance on the tour, a cricket official said on Monday.
Indian cricket board official Ratnakar Shetty said the team management and chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar had asked Pathan to play domestic matches in a bid to regain form.
