Tatenda Taibu Pumped For Return Of Full Test Cricket Schedule For Zimbabwe

Legendary Zimbabwe cricketer Tatenda Taibu is excited that his nation will once more be playing regular Test cricket in 2025.

The 41-year-old who played 195 matches for Zimbabwe combined across all formats, was reacting to the news that the Southern African nation is scheduled to play nine Tests in 2025.

Their schedule includes playing England in May on their home turf for the first time in 22 years, before they host South Africa and New Zealand in Zimbabwe.

With Zimbabwe not currently included among the nine teams competing in the World Test Championship WTC , a revitalised scheduled will do much to plead their case to be included among the top nations in the future.

'I commend them for doing this. Test cricket was always big in Zimbabwe, but the country went through problems in the mid-2000s, we didn't play for six years 2005-2011 and started again, Taibu told Sportsboom.com.
