After working out in France Zaheer Khan has now traveled all the way to South Africa to improve his skills and fitness. He is training with South African provincial team Knights. Zaheer had asked the Knights fitness expert Adrian le Roux to help him with his pre-season conditioning during the IPL in May and is said to be a close friend of the fast bowler.<\/p>\n
The Knights are training in Bloemfontein for the past couple of days along with Zaheer who was also seen participating in the training sessions ahead of the training camp in Port Elizabeth next week.<\/p>\n
Zaheer Khan has been picked for the India ‘A’ squad who are playing the West Indies ‘A’ and the upcoming matches would be the key to make a statement to the selectors about his fitness and form just before the South Africa tour which will be followed by the New-Zealand tour.<\/p>\n
