Is Irfan Pathan making a comeback ?

Irfan Pathan, was a former Indian Cricketer, who played his International cricket for 10 years and played at domestic levels, for almost twice a decade. He has been a phenomenal bowling all rounder, who could both bat and bowl at left hand, with being a lower middle order batsman, who can save his team from drench. He is one kind of a bowler, who easily bowls at 135+ km/h and impresses each and every individual with his slow cutter deliveries. 

He announced his International retirement in January, this year. His career after 2012 was at a heavy slump, including his performances at Indian Premier League ( IPL ), due to injuries. Also, at last three auctions of IPL, he went unsold in each occasion. Also, after his cricket career, there were true news that he was going to feature in a Kollywood Film.

In this situation, where there isn't any option for cricketing action, what will be your reaction, if you come across the news, that Irfan Pathan is gonna make a comeback at Cricket ?. Sounds Wierd Right... But, this is true. "Reality is stranger than expectation".
