Former Zimbabwe captain Tatenda Taibu is currently back in Zimbabwe on a brief stopover before proceeding to South Africa where he is set to sign up for a franchise side in the next few weeks.
Taibu confirmed to Cricinfo on Friday that he has set his sights on a longer career in South Africa, and may only return to the United Kingdom, where he was playing for Pyford in Surrey, if he feels that it's good for his career. Taibu said he was hopeful to seal a deal with either the Fidentia Warriors or the Nashua Cape Cobras if they agree to terms.
Taibu once again poured cold water on a possible immediate resumption of his international career, saying forthrightly that his chances of playing for Zimbabwe in the near future are "zero percent".
Taibu's resignation was precipitated by a clash with ZC over several policy issues at the height of a player dispute which saw some senior players leave the team in frustration.
