Mumbai: Veteran India pacer Zaheer Khan, who has made a comeback to the Test side after nearly a year, today said he was gearing up for the challenge against South Africa next month.
"I have ironed out things I felt were pulling me back. I am ready to take on the challenge. It is great to accept challenge and to live up to it," Zaheer told reporters here.
Zaheer had played his last test almost a year ago and he holds a good record in South Africa.
Zaheer Khan has been inducted in the Test team announced today by BCCI selectors for the South African tour.
Team India will play three one-day internationals and two Test in South Africa in December.
