Zaheer Khan: No plans about retirement yet

Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan has been struggling with his latest injury - a side strain, due to which he wasn’t able to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last season as well as India’s current tour of England.


The 35-year-old is currently working on his fitness at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore in the hope of playing in the Champions League Twenty20 for the Mumbai Indians.

The left-arm seamer, who has 311 wickets in 92 Tests, has been battling to regain his place in the squad.

"This is going to be another battle for me. Playing for India was never easy in the first place. It was an impossible dream. Things are always difficult at that level, and injuries add to it," Zaheer said.

"The first phase of rehabilitation [post injury] is now over. In the first week of August, I'll start bowling again. And then, it [playing for the national side] has to happen on its own," he added.


Zaheer's last appearance for his country was in February, in New Zealand.
