Zimbabwe wait on Chigumbura, Jongwe
Captain Elton Chigumbura and all-rounder Luke Jongwe have all but been cleared to play in Zimbabwe's second ODI against South Africa at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday.
Captain Elton Chigumbura and all-rounder Luke Jongwe have all but been cleared to play in Zimbabwe's second ODI against South Africa at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Tuesday.
Chigumbura sustained a minor injury during last week's series opener, which the Proteas won by 93 runs on the back of a fine century from opener Hashim Amla, while Jongwe was recently reprimanded – and fined – for breaking the team's curfew.
"I injured my quad but I think I will be fine. I just pulled it. I think I will be fine for the next game," said Chigumbura.
Jongwe, meanwhile, has pleaded guilty to a disciplinary committee – and apologised to head coach Stephen Mangongo and the rest of the team management.
The former Zimbabwe Under-19 vice-captain, who fell for 19 and didn't take a wicket on debut in the first ODI, was handed a 100-percent match fee fine.
