We need fully fit Zaheer in Australia: Ganguly

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels India cannot afford to have a half fit Zaheer Khan for next month's four-Test series in Australia, urging the left-arm seamer to play more matches in order to regain 100 per cent fitness.

"Still, there are 24 days left and I believe he will play another Ranji game as well as the two practice matches in Australia. The BCCI has planned his schedule well unlike 10 years back when I had to appear for a fitness test only 10 days prior to an important tour," he added.u00a0
