(Harare)Zimbabwe Cricket is doing all it could to return to Test fold with the help of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and former star players, its President Peter Chingoka said on Tuesday.

The country has not played Test cricket since its self imposed exile in 2006. Several countries had refused to travel there due to political reasons, and key starts such as Henry Olonga had fled the country.

Chingoka said they have now made ‘changes in the structure of the domestic cricket’ to lift the standard of the game in the country and is hoping that “transfer of knowledge” will happen with the return of former players.

“We are working closely with the ICC and are implementing whatever they are advising us to do. We have merged some of our provinces and made our domestic cricket into a five-team franchise-based structure,” Chingoka told reporters at the VCA Stadium in Jamtha on Tuesday. (ZimEye/PTI)
