It's not good enough to comment about some one like Zaheer. As every one faces a bad time in his life/career.
Zaheer is one of the best while i would not feel any guilty to say and address him the best bowler on the Indian's side. Now a days time is not favouring him, but there was a time when he made his debute and started his career, he was the only one bowler whome the indian's and whole of the world want to see him bowling lovingly.
At current time as much people support "Pathan" and "Balaji" much more respect used to given to Zaheer as people use to talk about him in the same manner as now talks for Pathan.
Very soon a time will come when once again "ZAHEER KHAN" will find his rythm and would be at his peek.......
Of Course Zaheer should play in next match bcoz when u watch at Nehra and Balaji they has not looking in full form. Well we require win with good run rate. As well as we should be able get quick wickets in first 15 overs.
Yes he could be given rest for the rest of his life.Youngsters perform much better than him. Nowadays he is an useless slogger and very poor fielder....so he can be made to retire permannently
