Zaheer Khan content with his fitness – Cricket News Update
Indian premier pacer, Zaheer Khan says that he is happy with his fitness levels and hopes to make the most of an important tour of Australia.
The left-armer last played competitive cricket in July, where he managed 13.3 overs in the first Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 before picking up a hamstring injury which ruled him out for six months.
However, his return to peak fitness is still on course with the player getting some valuable game time during the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saurashtra-c839.
With many of the Men In Blue in the twilight of their career, the tour Down Under is where all need to be performing at their highest. The Indians have never managed to claim a series win against Australia and the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 have emphasized the importance of giving their best.
In the pace department, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379 remains the main pace battery for the sub-continent giants and the player himself looks forward to an important tour, hoping to fire on all cylinders.
"This tour is very important. I want to be the factor which makes the difference as there are so many expectations on me," Zaheer said completing his second successive game. "I think I have done enough to get on that flight [to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746]. And now the next step is to fulfill all those expectations."
Having got some match practice under his belt, the 33-year-old is now looking to attain a consistent bowling rhythm, which in turn will help him remain injury free for the whole tour.
“[It] all has to come together. Physically I am fine, I am not feeling anything wrong. But I wanted to bowl more to get the co-ordination going in terms of my bowling, added Zaheer regarding his bowling rhythm.
With positive words from the player, the Men In Blue start their tour with two practice games which will allow the left-armer to get accustomed to the overseas conditions and make a triumphed comeback.
