Taibu heading for Bangladesh
LONDON, Dec 1: Former Zimbabwe cricket captain Tatenda Taibu has said he is heading to Bangladesh to resume his cricketing career. The 22-year-old, who resigned the national captaincy last week in protest at the alleged mal-administration of Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) chairman Peter Chingoka and managing director Ozias Bvute, is due to leave Zimbabwe on Sunday, to play club cricket in Dhaka.
However, the wicket-keeper also told the Cricinfo.com website that he would return to international cricket provided certain changes were made.
“It would not take long if the right people are put in place, because some players who left are willing to come back if Bvute and Chingoka leave. I would be glad to come back and play.”
Taibu has called for the removal of Bvute and Chingoka “because they are trying to bring in people like Themba Mliswa (the man who allegedly made threats against Taibu) and Tavengwa Mukuhlani (another of their supporters) onto the board, and we all understand that they are wrong for Zimbabwe Cricket.
“There are also other aspects that people will get to understand when they are exposed.”
Taibu added he was proud of the stand taken by team-mates in speaking out against the current administration, while hinting that substantial changes could be on the way.—AFP
