ZIMBABWE Cricket have finalised the appointment of a new coaching staff for the Zimbabwe senior men’s national team in time for the T20I series against India.
Following last month’s announcement of Justin Sammons as head coach and Dion Ebrahim as batting coach, the rest of the technical personnel have now been confirmed.
Former South Africa international cricketer Charl Langeveldt has been named bowling coach, with his compatriots Ravish Gobind and Curtly Diesel coming in as strategic performance coach and strength and conditioning coach respectively.
All the appointments were made in consultation with Sammons, who also opted to retain Stuart Matsikenyeri, although he now assumes the role of fielding coach, while Amato Machikicho will continue serving as the team’s physiotherapist.
ZC is yet to finalise the appointment of the team manager.
The appointments were done in line with the recommendations made by the Mhishi Committee of Inquiry established to probe the team’s failure to qualify for the recently concluded ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
