Heel problem returns to sideline bowler

India bowler Zaheer Khan has been sidelined for the remainder of the current Test series against Australia after failing to recover from a left heel injury. The injury had previously ruled Zaheer out of the third Test against Pakistan last month and flared up again in a practice session on the eve of the second Test in Sydney. Zaheer is to return to India and will be replaced in the tourists' squad by VRV Singh, who will arrive in Australia on Friday. Australia lead the four-match Test series 1-0 following their 337-run triumph in the opener in Melbourne last week.
