It's frustrating to miss England series: Zaheer

Veteran pacer Zaheer Khan today said it was disappointing to miss the England series due to the injury as he had undergone rigorous training sessions to be part of the squad.
"I am missing playing cricket. I was preparing for English tour for a long time and that was one of the reasons why I went through all those regimes before but when things happen, you don't have any control over it," Zaheer said at the launch of his fitness and physiotherapy services based company ProSport.
"You don't have any control over injuries and doesn't matter how much ever you train it is the one thing that you can't control as a sportsman. It was frustrating but you have to take things in your stride and do the right thing," he said.

The 35-year old had strained his left latissmus dorsi muscle during the IPL ruling him out of the series. The left-arm seamer said he will start his second phase of rehab by bowling gradually.
"I am going to start my bowling phase of rehab in first week of August. I have not bowled at all so far so it will be hard for me to comment on that. I am working on it and let's see how things unfold," he said.
Zaheer, who has had a fair share of injuries said, "You can do everything right and still go on and get injured. No one knows what is coming. Most of the injuries happen when you are giving a lot of effort and something just goes an happens. You don't really have control over it and that is the biggest thing I have learnt that you can only control the controllable.
