India fast bowler Irfan Pathan returned to Mumbai early Friday morning.

The left arm bowler was sent back by the Indian team management from South Africa so that he can rediscover his bowling form in domestic cricket.

Pathan is scheduled to play in Baroda's remaining Group 'A' Ranji Trophy Elite division matches, to be held from January 2 to 5 and January 10 to 13, 2007.
