Zaheer Khan prepared to play 16 IPL III matches

Mumbai Indians' Zaheer Khan is set to return to action against Rajasthan Royals in the DLF-IPL III league match at the Brabourne Stadium on Saturday. The left-arm seamer bowled only six overs in the second innings against South Africa at Kolkata because of a muscle tear.

On Wednesday, speaking to the media he said, “We will try to focus on our strengths and play accordingly. All the teams are balanced and it's a tough tournament. But Mumbai Indians will pay attention to its own goals.''

Did you have to get the all clear signal from the NCA and the BCCI to play in IPL III?

I had a few sessions with the NCA physios in Mumbai. It was not a serious injury. It was important that I did not aggravate it.

It was probably a Grade I muscle tear of the quadricep. I knew it was not serious, it was just frustrating because I could not bowl much in the second innings of the Kolkata Test against South Africa.
