After failing to register a win in the two Ranji Trophy as Baroda captain so far, Pathan was sacked as the captain of the bottom-placed team, passing the baton to Deepak Hooda.
Recently, Irfan was in best of his form after he scored 80 runs in their Ranji opener against Madhya Pradesh, whereas his brother Yusuf scored a century in both the innings, but went on to lose the game.
This was followed by a draw against Andhra Pradesh in their second group game last week. This meant that they finished at the bottom of the table with just one point.
Baroda are currently playing Tripura in their third Ranji match, and will be hoping for their first win.
