First i wish all the best to our speedstar zaheer khan.BCCI doing very wrong thing for not taking zaheer khan.i now that zaheer is injured but as a sinior player and Zaheer has both talent and aggression, and is a vital component of the indian bowling attack,besause there is some new bowleres in indian team like Irfan Phathan and Balaji.Our captain and coach tried to take zaheer in squard but BCCI not accept that refrans.The physio is also there.Zaheer khan show some tips to our bowleres like new comer Irfan Phatan and Balai.The tournament is not intrested with out Zaheer khan.Finally our teams is incompled.I am also under 18 leak team player. I too also strike bowler in our team.When i was injured i was in team but not play the game.just show some tips to our team players.I pray for Zaheer khan to back in our team.Zaheer come back soon.
Zaheer has both talent and aggression, and is a vital component of the indian bowling attack. yet, that doesn't make him an all powerful being who should be entrusted with a responsiblity so huge as bowling under pressure when he's not well! he has been ill for quite some time and instead of giving him a long rest, he is again called for duty again and again after short and thus futile periods of rest. ( ditto for Nehra, another superb bowler.)
now is the time we try to incorporate more young blood in our team when the big guns go missing. was not this how irfan and balaji were discovered???
zaheer has this habit now we can say to declare his fitness and get injured again i guess the selectors ,john wright and co should look beyond him and we have others who are waiting in the wings like munaf patel,rao ,ayyapa and other promising bowlrs in the circuit and what wrong has agarkar done he is a cricketer who i feel unjustice is done everytime what wrong has he done to be out of the team? i feel he can be a andrew flintoff or cairns for india but ganguly always plays these tricks with him.where is ratinder singh sodhi?whatabout laxmi ratan shukhla?where is sallabh srivastava and mritunjay tripati all these questions need to be answered by the selectors .where is rakesh patel and the so called glenn macgrath who plays for mumbai.arent there any good bowlers in the under 19 circuit
The injury has become a regular one for zaheer khan these days as this is the third tour he is leaving because of an injury. He needs to be more dedicated in this aspect and should keep himself fit for he is one of the strike bowlers of the indian team.
i wish all the best to zaheer. but i still beleive tghe amount of pressure & load he has carried along from last so many years has caused his injury. are we going to do the same to the upcoming new talents. Why dont we have regular backups like australia have? we could have gone in with new fresh talents like asvishkar salvi, munaf patel, etc. for the the asia cup as we colud have used them against the sides like uae,bangladesh. also why is parthiv still in the side if he is not going to play & perform. i beleive we could have someone like rohan gavaskar or hemang badani who can act like all rounders in the side. Also why dont we try out with new tamil nadu wicketkeeper.
finally, i still hope india will win this asia cup by playing two seamers & two spinners. all the best. go india go.
India should not be hanging around zaheer and nehra .They r good bowlers but injury often haunts them. The team should bring in new and young paceman like munaf patel or other good bowlers.

well, i almost agree, but we mustn't forget the 'old faithful' when thinking about the future. the team has to be a perfect mixture of the old and new, otherwise we lose our unique identity. instead of ignoring nehra and zaheer, we should hope they get well soon!
We need to take a good look at the training methods used by Leipus, and at the food / supplements (if any) being given to the cricketers. Some of the widely advertised "food supplements" have been shown in recent times to contain harmful ingredients and even banned substances, which are not mentioned on the label. We also have to look at the training methods used by Wright -- personally, I think one of Zaheer's problems is his bowling action, especially the exaggerated jump at the delivery stride. Ever since Dattu Phadkar, *medium-fast bowler*, went to Alf Gover's school and came back as a fastish off-break bowler, I have never had a good opinion of these "foreign" coaches. (Sir Geoffrey Boycott is an exception, but his interest is as an expert commentator, and he does not take full-time coaching assignments.)
Good news. Anybody would have guessed that sooner than later players like Zaheer, Nehra and Agarkar would break one of their brittle bones. Send him back to India along with Nehra. Let them shoot commercials for which they good at. Its time India depended on fitter and reliable players like Amit Bhandari,Munaf Patel,SS Paul,Aiyappa,Ragavendra Rao and Siddharth Trivedi. They may not be flashy celebrities but at least they will complete their quota of 10 overs by conceding fewer runs.
