Delhi: Brendon Taylor, former captain of Zimbabwe cricket team, is ready to return to international cricket. In 2022, he was banned for three and a half years due to violation of the Anti -Corruption Code, which ended on 25 July 2025. Now he is desperate to get on the field once again. According to media reports, Taylor will be available for selection in the second Test match against New Zealand, which starts from 7 August.

Let us tell you that 39 -year -old Taylor was accused of violating four articles of ICC’s Anti -Corruption Code – 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4 and 2.4.7. Especially under Article 2.4.2, if the player receives gifts, money or other benefits from a person and does not inform the ICC in time, it is considered a violation of the Code. In addition, the players are expected to maintain the transparency and dignity of the game.

Craig Ervin confirmed

The current Zimbabwe’s current captain Craig Ervin spoke a big thing about Taylor’s return. He said, “He (Taylor) will definitely be available for the second Test. I have seen how hard he has worked in his personal capacity. He has worked hard in the last 12 months to return. It would be very encouraging to see him with the team in the next few days.”

Last international match was played in 2021

Brendon Taylor played his last international match in September 2021. After this, due to the ban imposed by the ICC in 2022, he was deprived of training or playing matches with any national or home team. During this time it was a big challenge for him to maintain form and fitness.
