Chawaguta confident of cricketers

The Zimbabwean cricket team will face Sri Lanka, in a one day international series on October 10, before facing the host, Canada, on October 11, in a four-nation Twent20 tournament.
This will be Zimbabwe's second international outing after the tour of Pakistan in January.
Despite missing the services of potential hard-hitting batsmen Vusi Sibanda, Brendan Taylor and Sean Williams, the inconsistent but talented national team boasts a handful of experienced young players.
Among them is all-rounder, Elton Chigumbura, wicket-keeper/batsman, Tatenda Taibu, Stuart Matsikenyeri Hamilton Masakadza and off-spinners, Raymond Price, captain Prosper Utseya and Graeme Cremer.
National team coach, Walter Chawaguta, is confident that the new kid on the block, Cephas Zhuwawo (pictured), who has impressed as an opening batsman, will use the tour to boost his confidence.
"Vusi is an attacking opening batsman, replacing him will be difficult but we have young and promising stars. Zhuwawo has been doing well in local super leagues and the tour of Canada and Kenya should put him where he should be," Chawaguta said.
Zimbabwe will play Pakistan on October 12, in Toronto.
Chawaguta hopes that history will repeat itself after their surprise victory over Australia in the Twenty20 World Cup, held in South Africa last year.
"We have been playing a number of competitive Super leagues, which were in the form of twenty20 cricket and they have helped the boys prepare for their assignment," Chawaguta said.
After the last match in Canada, on October 12, Chawaguta and his troops will tour Kenya, for the tri-angular series featuring Ireland, Zimbabwe and the hosts.
The eight-day tournament will be played at the Nairobi Gymkhana club, where the three countries will play a round robin series before a final.
Despite Zimbabwe's suspension from next year's edition of the Twenty20 global showpiece in England, the countries involved in the tour of Canada and Kenya have been reported to be "comfortable with playing against Zimbabwe."
