Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has admitted time is running out fast for him to make a comeback into the national cricket team. Irfan, who will turn 33, last played for India in a Twenty20 International against Sri Lanka at Colombo in October 2012. I know that I’m standing on thin ice,” said Irfan, admitting the challenges that he is facing in an interview with ESPNCricinfo. Irfan’s plight is in direct contrast with another Indian cricket team pacer Ashish Nehra, who has been part of the Indian Twenty20 side since 2016. Nehra, who is 38, will retire from international cricket during the first Twenty20 International against New Zealand in New Delhi on November 1.
