Zaheer Khan conducts specialised red-ball camp for fast bowlers at BCCI CoE

Zaheer Khan led a three-day camp focusing on red-ball skills, mental toughness, and conditioning for fast bowlers under the BCCI high-performance monitoring programme.

  • On Mar 02, 2026, former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan led a three-day specialised red-ball camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru under the high-performance monitoring programme, ANI reported.
  • Amid a vacancy for a full-time fast-bowling coach, VVS Laxman, CoE Head of Cricket, initiated the camp to involve former players in grooming India A and U-19 prospects.
  • Participants included pacers from India A and U-19 setups and various state association fast bowlers on the national selectors' radar, focusing on technical, mental and physical training modules.
  • Zaheer's playing record gives the camp added heft, as his 597 wickets across 303 international matches and roles in the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy and 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup lend weight to his coaching.
  • The BCCI framed the camp as red-ball focused, highlighting Zaheer Khan’s ODI record of 194 matches, 269 wickets at 30.11, plus 13 wickets in six ODIs for the Asian XI.
