HARARE, June 26: Zimbabwe’s former skipper Tatenda Taibu is talking to the board about a possible return to the national team.

Taibu left Zimbabwe cricket in November 2005 after falling out with the Zimbabwe board — in particular chairman Peter Chingoka and managing director Ozias Bvute — over player welfare and governance issues. He also claimed his family had been threatened.

Taibu had stints in the UK and Namibia, where he never really established himself, and has periodically returned home. However, in the last month, Taibu has reportedly been training with the Zimbabwe team in Harare and looking very much involved in the thick of things. —Agencies
