The Zimbabwe Independent carries a lengthy interview with new Zimbabwe coach Walter Chawaguta today, which also details the new boss's path to the post. While also talking about his hopes for the side, Chawaguta is clear about one thing: the current squad of players needs to be kept intact:

The investment which has been put on the players cannot be quantified, so we can’t afford to lose any more players. I want to have players who play for the team and for each other; players who demand the highest standards of themselves. What that translates into is a team which is not happy to win one match in a series, but the series itself.

Hopefully his superiors at ZC are listening, especially with regards to the Brendan Taylor situation. He also seems determined to maintain the hard-work ethic that predecessor Robin Brown also believed in:

"I am a firm believer in hard-work. I believe if you spend time in training, quality training, things become easier in a match situation and you are able to handle the pressure situations easier."
