The elder Pathan, who debuted for India in 2007 in the historical World T20 final against Pakistan, served India as a hard-hitting batsman for quite a long time. However, he hasn't played an international match for India since 2012.

Yusuf, a right-handed batsman who occasionally bowls off-spin, has played 57 ODIs and 22 T20Is for India. He played all the six group stage matches in 2011 World Cup but was dropped from playing XI for the knockout games, owing to his consistent failures.

Pathan later struggled to keep his place alive in the team, with a lot of new faces making an entrance to the team. He currently plays domestic cricket for Baroda and recently went to Bangladesh to play a List A tournament.

He too has shown some touch in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, though he needs to produce more performances to earn a comeback call.
