The Zimbabwe Independent reports that the selection of a new coach for the Zimbabwe national side has been deferred to May, after ZC unexpectedly received a deluge of applications for the post. There are apparently 15 names currently in the hat, with that list expected to be cut to a shortlist of 6 that is in no way short on quality - the paper names the likely shortlist as Zimbabwe greats Grant Flower and Heath Streak; former South Africa and Australia Test players Kepler Wessels; former Surrey coach Alan Butcher; former SA Test player and Western Province coach Gary Kirsten; and current Mashonaland Eagles coach Chris Silverwood. Compare that list to the four applications received last time the coach's post was advertised, and it's clear to see how ZC has turned the appeal of the Zimbabwe side around.
