Zaheer likely to recover
India's key paceman Zaheer Khan is likely to regain fitness for next month's Twenty20 World Championships in England, his captain said on Friday.
"Zaheer is not 100 percent fit now, but I am hopeful he will be available for our first match," skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni told reporters before the team's departure.
The left-arm fast bowler, with 210 wickets in Tests and 225 in one-dayers, was doubtful for the June 5-21 tournament when he suffered a shoulder injury playing in the recent Indian Premier League (IPL) in South Africa.
Defending champions India clash with Bangladesh in their opening Group-A league match at Trent Bridge on June 6 and then meet Ireland at the same venue on June 10.
