Ajit Agarkar the 23 year old fast bowler from Mumbai is almost a certainity to tour Zimbabwe. He made his Test match debut in Zimbabwe in 1998; India lost the Test match played at Harare Sports Club by 61 runs. He has so far represented his national team in nine Test matches picking up 23 wickets at 36.86 apiece with a strike rate of 77.20, his best performance with the ball so far has been 3/43. There is so much potential in this young fast bowler but he has not developed into a genuine Test match winner. India will be looking forward to him running through Test sides and he will have to deliver the goods in Zimbabwe. It is a do or die situation for Agarkar; any further extension of failure will not been taken lightly by the selectors, given the fact that there are other young fast bowlers in Ashish Nehra and Rakesh Patel waiting in the wings.
