There will be a mix of emotions for Brendan Taylor when he walks out on the field at Eden Park on Saturday. This will be the last time Taylor would don the Zimbabwean jersey after signing a three-year Kolpak deal with Nottinghamshire. Reflecting on his 11-year old international career, Taylor said, “It's been an enjoyable 11 years that I have been extremely grateful for. Every player's dream is to represent their country, and I've been lucky enough to do that. Sad for me is that it'll be ending, but I'm very proud to be a Zimbabwean. I am very proud to represent my country on a great stage tomorrow to finish up and hopefully end on a high note.” Talking about his move to Nottinghamshire, Taylor explained, “It hasn't been an easy decision to make. International cricket has always been the pinnacle for me, but it is something that I discussed with my family and my wife. I think all players tend to try and maximise a little bit and when you've got kids at home, you want to try and make sure they have got the best sort of upbringing that you can give them. All these sort of favoured the decision. It's a three-year decision. “I don't think everything is lost after England, whether I continue to play on after those three years in England or come back to Zimbabwe. That's all too far ahead. But I just want to go there and try to better myself as a cricketer, and at the end of the day, we are all trying to provide for families, and to me that is very important.” Zimbabwe coach Dav Whatmore in a media gathering yesterday spoke about how much Zimbabwe would be missing Taylor’s services. Taylor though, was of the view that Zimbabwe had enough talent to take the game forward. “I think there is enough depth there at the moment. We have certainly got some experienced players, some young and talented players coming through. I am not too worried about maybe leaving a hole which many people have speculated with me going. “I think the players are definitely good enough to fulfill that No. 4 spot in Test cricket and ODIs. There are exciting players in Solomon Mire and Sean Williams in the middle and there are talks of Graham Cremer making a comeback to Zimbabwe cricket. For me that is very encouraging and I have no doubt on the day that you will be seeing the best from them. I am confident that there is a bright future right around the corner for Zimbabwe cricket.” On his most memorable memory representing Zimbabwe, Taylor said, “There are some fond memories, but it would probably be our first test win against Bangladesh that would top the charts. Being in isolation for five years and coming back and winning our first Test match back was an incredible feeling. Also winning another Test against Pakistan was huge. Those two stand out for me personally. We as players value Test cricket, so we all know how hard it is as players to go out there for five days and physically and mentally try and test yourselves against the best sides in the world.” As Zimbabwe gear up to face India, Taylor said his team had a few plans which they would look to execute. The side was wary of the Indian batting but had a special mention for India’s bowling. “We all know what a power house they are at batting but they certainly hold their own with the ball. They have had proven performances with their spinners and we see how well they have done for India over the years. Even in conditions that are not so suited to them, they have been very difficult to get away. Their new ball bowlers have struck early, where they possibly haven't done that in the past. They are bowling with some good pace, too. It is certainly good for Indian cricket, and it will be very challenging for us tomorrow; not just the pace but the swing they are producing at the moment.”
