Mutumbami climbs batting order, Chigumbura drops

The Zimbabwe national cricket team coaches are set to restore captain Elton Chigumbura back to the number seven spot when they take on Pakistan in the one-day internationals (ODI).

Since returning from the World Cup, Chigumbura had been reinvented to a number four, a position, where he thrived particularly during the tour of Pakistan, where he scored his maiden century.

The likely promotion of wicketkeeper batsman Richmond Mutumbami to an opening slot has necessitated further positional shifts and Chigumbura will be the most affected.
