A five-day fitness specific camp for pace bowlers commenced in Bangalore on Tuesday under the stewardship of physical trainer Gregory Allen King.
Zaheer Khan, whose name did not figure in the list announced by BCCI earlier, joined the camp being held at the premises of the National Cricket Academy.
The injury-hit Baroda left-arm seamer has returned home after a short stint with Surrey in England and the bowler would now be looking to regain top fitness.
Others attending the camp include Ashish Nehra, Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan, Laxmipathy Balaji, Aavishkar Salvi and Amit Bhandari.
Emphasising that the focus will be on fitness, King said the bowlers would undergo normal training involving core stability, flexibility, cardio-vascular and endurance exercises.
"The guys will do a bit of bowling and throwing," he added.
King said he will also take stock of the fitness levels of the bowlers, and the progress they made during the off-season.
He said since the bowlers had taken a break, their fitness levels had gone down a bit which was normal and expected.
Four trainees of NCA -- V R V Singh, R P Singh, D K Mungraj and Saurav Sarkar -- have also joined the camp.
Others attending the camp are: Siddarth Trivedi, D T Kumaran, Munaf Patel, Sree Santh, S S Paul, S Mathur, N C Aiyappa, Gagandeep Singh, Joginder Sharma and Fazil Mohammed.
Earlier in the day, the bowlers had an hour-long Yoga session.
