Zaheer Khan urges patience amid India injury concerns

Zaheer Khan has seen enough rehab programmes to know when one breaks down. More than a dozen players are now working their way back at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, and the list keeps growing. Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan are already ruled out of the Sri Lanka Tests; Mohammed Shami is still nowhere near the selection conversation. Khan’s point is simple: the calendar doesn’t stretch just because the medical staff need more time.
