Chibhabha, however, hasn&#39;t played international cricket in more than a year, having last featured in a T20I against South Africa in October 2018.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Masakadza had retired in September last year and took up his new position in the board a month later as Zimbabwe Cricket restructured its management.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Zimbabwe Cricket also announced a new selection panel to be led by former international quick bowler David Mutendera, and Gavin Ewing, Shepherd Makunura and Prosper Utseya the other members.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The cricket board further said that it will announce a fielding coach and a mental strength coach in &quot;due course&quot;, and confirmed the other support staff members as follows: Lalchand Rajput (head coach), Dilip Chouhan (manager), Stuart Matsikenyeri (batting coach), Douglas Hondo (bowling coach), Walter Karimanzira (strength and conditioning trainer), Lovemore Banda (logistics manager) and Darlington Majonga (media manager).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Zimbabwe will be hosting Ireland, India and Netherlands while they are scheduled to travel to Bangladesh, Australia and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\r\n",
