My Recovery Has Been Slow But Positive, Says Zaheer

India's pace spearhead Zaheer Khan on Monday said that his recovery post-ankle surgery has been "slow but positive" and he has not set any timeframe for making his international comeback.

"The first phase of my rehab programme went off pretty well. I have started with the second phase of my rehab. I will be soon going to the National Cricket Academy. My progress has been slow but a positive one," Zaheer told media persons after receiving the Arjuna Award from sports minister Ajay Maken at latter's residence.

The Indian speedster could not attend the awards function at the Rashtrapathi Bhawan on August 29 as he was recuperating from his ankle surgery.

Zaheer, who will turn 33 this Saturday, said that he is taking one day at a time and not trying to rush his comeback.
