Zaheer ruled out of England tour , RP Singh called in
New Delhi: 
Indian pacer Zaheer Khan has been ruled out of the remaining England tour as his fitness has shown no signs of improvement, and he will require a surgery for his ankle.
He had sustained a hamstring injury in the Lord's Test after bowling just 13.3 overs. Sitting out of the second Test, Zaheer returned to action in the practice match against Northants but managed to bowl just 3 overs before leaving the field for treatment.
"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," BCCI said in a statement.
His loss has been RP Singh's gain as the pacer from Uttar Pradesh makes a comeback nearly after 3 years. He last played a Test match in April 2008 and an ODI in September 2009.
"The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked RP Singh as his replacement in the Indian squads for the Test series, and the T20 International and ODI series. RP Singh will join the team at the earliest," it added
