Australian pacer Dennis Lillee feel Zaheer Khan, having gone through surgery on his wounded ankle, will find it hard to create the same impact on his return to the game.
“I think Zaheer's injury happen due to stress. If he was 18 years old, his revival would have been faster. But when a player suffer a fresh injury at 33, he of course takes more time to get back into action," Lillee, who is in the city overseeing the MRF Pace Foundation training camp, said on Monday.
The Aussie has a lot of faith in Zaheer and wants his ward to perform. "I'm not a doctor, so it's not probable for me to point out if his international career is all but over," he added.
However, Lillee was glad for rookie India speedster Varun Aaron, who has been draft into the Indian ODI side for the ODI series against England. Aaron, an MRF product, is critically quick and is full of promise, feels the Aussie legend.
"He is a rare talent. I'm enormously happy that Varun has made it to the national squad. He is young and needs some time before he flourishes at the maximum level. He came at the MRF Pace Foundation as a 16-year-old boy and we all have put in a lot of attempt to groom him. I am convinced he would excel against England if given a chance," TOI report the Aussie as saying.
There have been many instance in the past when young pacers have shown great possible, only to fade away after some time due to injury. Aaron, who every time bowls above 145/kmph, had suffer two stress fractures in his back.
"Varun is still very young and his injury is totally healed. But he should be more careful now and he has to learn how to defend himself in spite of playing a lot of cricket," he said.
