Zaheer Khan has joined Surrey for free in order to regain his fitness and form. In the match against Kent his bowling figures were 0/53 off 11 overs in the first innings and 1/48 off 15 overs in the second innings. Looks like he has not regained his form yet.

to reiterate on brother ehsan’s post re danish kaneria, he is currently playing for essex against yorkshire in a frizzell county championship Division Two match and check out his bowling figures:
wat is happening with shoabi??? pakistan confirmed he was injured and out of the asia cup to be played in july 04’, so he would be rested, then the medical team @ durham ccc confirmed he would be rested due to his rib injury and then they said he would play solely as a batsmen then again ] on cricinfo i read he had worsened his rib injury so he was out for a while just yesterday i noticed shaoib sahab ji turned out for the local derby against yorkshire, {4 day match} he bowled and took wickets???
That is Shoaib for you. If he behaved like normal human beings he wouldn’t be Shoaib. Personally I think his rib injury is the biggest drama yet by this clown.
