Bulawayo: Veteran batter Brendan Taylor said it was incredibly difficult for him to stay away from Zimbabwe’s national team after he made a successful comeback to international cricket after four years on Thursday.
Taylor returned to Zimbabwe’s XI in the second test against New Zealand after serving a three-and-a-half-year ban for breaching the ICC’s anti-corruption code.
“How good is it that three years ago, I couldn’t get out of bed and now I am here doing what I love, and that’s representing Zimbabwe?” Taylor told the broadcaster in an emotional interview before the first day’s play. “Dealing with the sanction, dealing with my own internal chaos - there was not a specific day, there were multiple days of trauma.
“I was in the dark depths in the abyss and trying to just get through this total and incomprehensible demoralisation of life. It was incredibly difficult.” IANS
