Zaheer to return home

Sunday, April 4 2004

Zaheer Khan will return to India on April 5 and miss the remainder of the India-Pakistan Test series, because of his leg injury.

Zaheer injured his leg in the first Test, while bowling. While, originally thought to be a hamstring injury, an MRI scan done later has revealed that it is a muscle pull.

The injury will keep Zaheer out of action for a considerable amount of time, thus ruling him out completely for the two remaining Tests.

Zaheer's replacement Ashish Nehra has already been flown in, after Zaheer has been initially ruled out of only the second Test.

India leads the series 1-0. The second Test starts Monday in Lahore.
