HARARE: Top-level cricket returns to troubled Zimbabwe from Thursday this week after Sri Lanka sent a 15-player squad to play a series of five one-day internationals.
The irony is that it was Sri Lanka, as much as any Test nation, which saw the end of Test cricket here four years ago.
It was they who, having won two Tests by an innings and more than 200 runs in 2004, were the first to declare they would not play five-day matches against Zimbabwe again.
England, New Zealand and Australia quickly followed suit.
Zimbabwe were then limited to 50-overs matches against other full members of the ICC plus four-dayers against such as Kenya and Namibia.
