Date: 7 August 2011 MEDIA RELEASE Zaheer Khan is suffering from a recurrent right hamstring strain and a right ankle impingement. He will require a surgery for his ankle, followed by intensive rehabilitation for both the ankle and hamstring. He will need at least 14-16 weeks to recover completely. He will therefore not be able to participate in the ongoing Test series and subsequent T20 International and ODI series against England. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked R.P. Singh as his replacement in the Indian squads for the Test series, and the T20 International and ODI series. R.P. Singh will join the team at the earliest. N. Srinivasan Hony. Secretary & President-Elect BCCI
