A BCCI source was quoted as saying by the Times of India: “A batch of fast bowlers has been invited from state associations for a special fast-bowling camp from Feb 28 to March 2 at CoE in Bengaluru under the tutelage of Zaheer. Head of cricket at CoE VVS Laxman has taken keen interest in this initiative.”
Will Zaheer Khan fully commit to the CoE role?
The source added, “Zaheer is very keen on taking up coaching roles. He was involved with Lucknow Super Giants and believes he can help the next generation of cricketers. It’s a good sign that a fast bowler of his stature has shown interest in BCCI programs. However, it needs to be seen if he wants to take up a full-time job at CoE, as it will require him to commit a lot of time away from his family.”
