Join 24/7 Cricket News For More Updates

On the eve of the return of Zimbabwe Cricket, Tatenda Taibu wicketkeeper batsman hit the high country's administration for not doing enough for the game. Taibu said the lack of funds and poor career structures are cricket paralyze the country.


The end of a nearly six-year self-imposed exile from Test cricket, the introduction of a franchise system and the return of many former players like Grant Flower and Heath line management structures in Many had thought that the transformation was in the air. Taibu success this idea, saying that the only reason the game survives in the country's commitment to its players.

"I do not think that many things have changed, the administration is still struggling to run cricket in this country," Taibu said sincerely. "For example, the guys were not paid their fees correspondence from August last year, so far, I am now sitting here without a contract, none received a contract. These are all things that the administration is facing. "

Although the franchise may have been, and will pay the players, the issue of central contracts has never been explained or resolved. All players who play in Zimbabwe is under contract with a deductible, which means that they deserve some kind of income, but Taibu showed that only can be a form of bandaging a wound that really needs the surgery. "If you go around and see a house that is painted well, think that the house is really strong on his feet, but if you do not have a strong base, it will fall, or the second day," he said. "Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has just painted the house, which is coming in the fall."

Taibu said the players have sought the certainty of the ZC, but that he had personally kept a certain distance of the object because of its reputation as a pot-stirrer. "It's hard for me as a player with the history of cricket in Zimbabwe have to get up and talk about these things," he said. "We try to go through the structures, the teacher and the manager, but nothing has been done to date."

Taibu resigned the captaincy in November 2005 in controversial fashion after reporting on how cricket was run and has spent time living in Namibia, Bangladesh and South Africa before returning in 2007.

He promised not to talk about administrative problems, but now Taibu has broken his silence and said there is no fear of repercussions. Instead, he feels his responsibility as a statesman of the coast at the mouth of some of the young. "I tell the truth, I know most of the other guys are afraid to be objective and not be able to come out and say outdoors, but I have no fear of being targeted. I think it's important to be able to stand for young people who have no voice. "

Bubbles of discontent beneath the surface of a historic comeback game, it is difficult to see, what keeps the players motivated. Taibu was explained that the patriotism and passion in the ranks, and is proud to be part of men of that character. "I can not fault the coaching staff have worked hard, and I can not fault the guys. They come out every day, but do not get much support the government, unfortunately," he said. "If you want to see kids running and bowling balls and hit a lot of shows on the networks really have to care about boys. And 'two days before the match test, and no one has received a contract, does anyone know what we paid, but boys love their country, and can not be seen to fall about cricket. "

As there are disputes in cricket in Zimbabwe, there is also the pride and return to the format of the game leader is something that players are assessed. "It will be sad to see die in Zimbabwe cricket, after all the people who worked hard for us to get Test cricket back, I think it would be a waste if we let it die."

Taibu believes that the game is still very much alive and coming Test matches against Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand would only help cricket thrive in spite of its structures. "When you play cricket test, you will improve quickly," he said. "As a drummer you spend more time at the crease, like a melon, you learn how to get people out, how to be disciplined and when to attack and when not to."
