India's aging warhorse Zaheer Khan's fitness and availability has attained increased significance in a season that includes crucial tours of England and Australia. Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, veteran Rahul Dravid holds that he is not too sure about the left-arm fast bowler lasting the distance.
Can he survive five Test matches in England? I am not so sure. I think it is a question he deeply needs to ask himself. He doesn't want to end up being someone who struggles his way through to the end. It can be really hard. And we have seen, he struggled to back up time and time again in these two series. So that's an issue he needs to consider, Indian selectors need to consider.He has been a great bowler for India, arguably the finest India fast bowler since Kapil Dev. I would hate to see Zaheer Khan end his career bowling 120-125 kph and limp away from international cricket. He has done a great job to get himself fit for these two series and to be fair, he has bowled well in patches, he has bowled consistently.
