LET’S HOPE ZIMBABWE CAN THRIVE AGAIN

-

HOW nice to see Brendan Taylor and Kyle Jarvis return to Zimbabwe this week, for their Test series against the West Indies.

Internatio­nal cricket is so much better when the best players actually play it. The revival of Zimbabwe, largely overlooked, has been one of internatio­nal cricket’s most heartening stories of the year.

Let’s hope it continues: internatio­nal cricket needs all the competitiv­e teams it can get. It would be brilliant if Zimbabwe could become as competitiv­e as in the late Ninetiess, when they toppled Pakistan and India in consecutiv­e Test series.
