Zaheer to miss 2nd Test against England: Dhoni

New Delhi: India captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni confirmed that premier fast bowler Zaheer Khan who had injured his hamstring in the Lord's Test, will not participate in the second match of the series against England starting in Nottingham on Friday.
S Sreesanth who did not take part in the historic first Test at the home of cricket is likely to be the replacement for the injured Zaheer.
Gambhir was hit on his right elbow by a sweep shot from Matt Prior in the first Test at Lord's on Sunday, and even though he came in to bat, it is believed that his elbow is still stiff and not 100 per cent fit.
Meanwhile, England paceman Chris Tremlett who is yet to recover from a stiff back and a hamstring problem is a doubtful starter for Friday's Test.
Tremlett left Thursday's practice session for treatment and could be replaced by Tim Bresnan.
"He's had a bit of a niggle with his hamstring," captain Andrew Strauss said. "We're confident he should be OK but we'll see how he is in the morning.
