Irfan Khan Pathan (born October 27, 1984 in Baroda, Gujarat, India) is an Indian cricketer who has been a member of the Indian national cricket team since late 2003. Beginning his career as a left-arm fast-medium swing bowler who evoked comparisons to Pakistan's Wasim Akram, Pathan eventually improved his left-hand batting to become a bowling allrounder, even opening the batting on occasions. The improvement in his batting also coincided in a steady loss of pace and bowling form, and after finding himself occasionally opening both the batting and bowling in late 2005 and early 2006, Pathan has since found himself dropped from the team in both Test and ODI forms of the game.
