RETIRING Zimbabwe wicket-keeper batsman Brendan Taylor said winning the decisive One Day International against Ireland currently underway in Belfast is more important than a personal milestone under check.
The 35-year-old I calling time on his illustrious career with the national team spanning more than a decade and a half. He plans to give back to the game in a different capacity.
Speaking to the commentators as he made his way to bat for the last time in international cricket, the former captain spoke highly of the game that made him the person he is today.
“Lots of highs, lots of lows. Have fond memories. The game has taught me a lot, grateful for what I’ve been able to do. I wouldn’t change it for the world. A win today will be even more special than the 108 runs I need to become Zimbabwe’s highest ODI run-scorer,” Taylor said.
“My performance against India in the 2015 World Cup was probably the pinnacle. I’d like to, at some point, come back and give back to the game, very passionate about it. For now, I’ll spend time with family, test myself with something different but will definitely be back.”
