More Recent Developments[edit]

There seems to be no article dealing with the developments in cricket in Zimbabwe after 1992. That being the case, wouldnt it be better if someone could expand the timespan of this article to cover the more recent events (after 1992) ? Lot of interesting things have happened such as Henry Olonga's comments about Robert Mugabe and subsequent arrest warrant, Andy Flower quitting, radical changes in the team, removal of Heath Streak as captain, the appoinment and axing of Tatenda Taibu, and slump in team performance, etc ... Thanks. MalGuyinCal.
