http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379 to be fit for Aus tour – Cricket News Update
Duncan Fletcher, the Indian head coach, is hopeful of Zaheer Khan’s comeback ahead of the tour Down Under, saying that the veteran seamer is on the right track to be hundred percent fit for
the forthcoming battle.
Zaheer underwent a serious ankle injury after his return from England earlier this year. After staying out of action over the last four months, the left-arm pacer restarted his cricket with
a couple of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy games recently.
Following his participation in Mumbai’s games against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saurashtra-c839, Zaheer himself admitted that he was feeling a lot better and would be ready for the high-voltage clash in Australia.
Referring to Zaheer’s involvement in the domestic games where he bowled long spells, Fletcher said that the way the pacer has been bowling, he is quite hopeful of Zaheer regaining full fitness
prior to the crunch four-match series, starting with the Melbourne Test on December 26, 2011.
“From the report that I have got back, Zaheer has attended nets in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820. He put in a small spell there and looked impressive. I think it is very important that he looked in a very good condition
than what we saw when he came to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013,” Fletcher said in a press conference in Chennai.
“He has got through there in two games, which I think is ideal preparation because we don’t want to rush him too quickly. The three-day game in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 is going to be very important, if he
gets through that it will be ideal build up for him going into that first Test,” added the former Zimbabwean skipper who joined Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527 – the ex-coach who guided the Men in Blue to the World Cup 2011 triumph.
India’s star performer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744, out of the series. In such circumstances,
Zaheer’s presence will be mighty important for the World Champions when they take on the Kangaroos.
The cricket pundits are anticipating a crunch contest despite the fact that the injury problems have sidelined a few key players from both sides.
