Zaheer Khan surprised everyone with his pace during his debut match in the ICC Knockout Tournament in Kenya in 2000. He exhibited genuine pace along with swing and was able to swing the ball on both sides of the wicket. He was consistent in his performance and though he missed out on a few matches, he was always seen as a bright, young bowling prospect for India. However it was only in 2002 that Zaheer Khan took centre stage and showed the world his real potential when he had a magical West Indies tour. He followed it up with good performances against New Zealand and England and even had a fairly good World Cup. But a hamstring injury forced him out of action for some months and on his return he could not repeat his good form. He had lost some of his pace and the batsmen were less troubled by him. He has since been sidelined from the national team and has restored to playing first class cricket. He signed up with Worcestershire and even after a good season with the county in 2005, failed to make a comeback to international cricket. livescore.warofcricket.com provides the profile of Zaheer Khan and other cricketers around the world.
