Former Zimbabwe captain Tatenda Taibu has confirmed he will play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) next month. As he is centrally contracted to Zimbabwe Cricket, Taibu must have sought and obtained their permission to take part.
Taibu will join the Kolkata franchise on April 11 having played some matches in Zimbabwe's domestic Twenty20 which gets underway next week. However, because the Logan Cup, the country's first-class competition, has been rescheduled to start on April 17, Taibu will miss all the matches.
It will be Taibu's second stint in domestic cricket in the subcontinent. He previously played in Bangladesh during his international exile following a row with Zimbabwe Cricket.
Two other former Zimbabwe internationals, Heath Streak and Murray Goodwin, have signed with the unauthorised Indian Cricket League, although neither was expected to feature in domestic games.
