Zaheer, Nehra declared fit


CHENNAI, Feb 18: Indian medium pacers Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra, who were kept out of competitive cricket for more than a month due to injuries on Wednesday said they were fully fit and looking forward to Pakistan tour.

The left-arm bowlers, who have made it a practice to horn their skills whenever former Australian speedster Dennis Lillee visited MRF Pace Foundation, had their bowling sessions under watchful eyes of the Aussie.

Both Zaheer and Nehra told Press trust of India PTI that they were fully fit and were here for a few tips from pace guru. He had been of great help to our bowling and this was their routine trip to the foundation.

"I was not feeling fully comfortable last week. For last over two years I have been taking Lillee's advise before a tour. The sessions last evening at the gymnasium here and bowling to advise of Lillee at nets have made me feel better. I am raring to make trip to Pakistan, if selected," Zaheer said.

Nehra said he was concentrating on building techniques to avoid injuries and has recovered from ankle injury sustained during recent Australian tour. -PPI
