Zaheer Khan is an upcoming youngster and should try to go on improving and learning the tricks of the trade for all kinds of the game--the shorter one day and the longer tests.
He should then master the art of bowling on the different kinds of pitches one gets in India and abroad and then also concentrate on the type of batting the various teams do.
Watching old tapes and matches with the purpose of finding the strengths and weaknesses of the batsmen and then trying them out in practice and getting the help of the knowledgeable persons should help him in his game.
However, all said and done the game is one of uncertainty and one is also not sure on what considerations one may not be included in the team.
A positive attitude with a view to go on improving in all respects should be a constant striving for anyone to excel.
