Taylor returns to Zim fold

ZIMBABWE will welcome back regular captain Brendan Taylor into the team ahead of the start of the second cricket Test against Pakistan starting at Harare Sports Club this morning as they look to bounce back from last week’s disappointing 221-run defeat in the opening five-day game.

Taylor missed the opening game after being given some time off to be with his family following the birth of his son on the eve of last week’s first Test.

The 28-year-old batsman is expected to bolster Zimbabwe’s batting line-up, while also taking back the captaincy role which had been temporarily taken over by Hamilton Masakadza.
