No excuses for getting dropped

Irfan Pathan conceded he hasnt performed well enough to merit selection in the Indian one-day team but vowed to make a comeback,saying he has age on his side. I have been ignored purely on the basis of my drop in performance and I am working hard towards it.

Irfan,however,said it was disappointing to be ignored for next months Tri-series in Sri Lanka and the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa. For the last six years,if I have done slightly badly,so Im getting dropped. But I dont have any excuse.

If I am dropped,the reason is always performance. Obviously the selectors felt Im not up to the mark so I have to work hard, Irfan said.
