AS former Chevrons captain Brendan Taylor counts down to the end of his suspension, he feels he has a debt to settle with Zimbabwe cricket.
Taylor’s three-and-a-half year ban comes to an end in July.
“Zimbabwe cricket have been truly understanding and they have been very supportive,” said Taylor.
“I am looking forward to working closely with Zimbabwe Cricket and not against Zimbabwe Cricket, and building that relationship even stronger.
“So, I am looking forward to that and I’m very grateful for their backing and I appreciate their backing and I want to give something back to them.
“I would not be where I am today without them and they’ve paved the way for a passion of mine as well.”
Taylor, who has revealed his desire to play at the 2027 World Cup, now has interest in coaching, which he feels will be another way of giving back to Zimbabwe Cricket.
“I want to make amends through being of service to the national team, to the younger players and, obviously, through performances.
“I do love to transition straight into a coaching role with Zimbabwe Cricket.
“Coaching is something that I study and live for every day, I understand Zimbabwe cricket very well.
“I look forward to being a part of that development and my turn to give back to Zimbabwe Cricket,” said Taylor.
The former captain has already started preparing for life after playing.
“I have a passion for that, that’s what I would love to do.”
