Zaheer Khan is out of the Test series against South Africa. The injured left-arm seamer back from Johannesburg following a rehabilitation process, announced this himself just prior to the launch of Vijay Mallya owned Royal Challengers Bangalore team on Wednesday. "I am not ready for international cricket as yet," said Zaheer, adding: "It is not as if I am not fit yet, in fact I have started bowling but it is a question of being match fit." Zaheer was clear that he wasn't just looking at 100% readiness but in fact wanted to be 120% sure of being ready. "I have been told not to push things," he revealed. Zaheer is planning to play a few club and first class games before he tries a comeback into the Indian side. He however ruled out playing in the Deodhar Trophy, saying it was too early. As for turning out in the IPL tournament, Zaheer hope to be fit by then. "Hopefully I will be in a position to play four weeks from now. I am progressing well at the moment.”
