ZIMBABWE Cricket (ZC) yesterday fired senior national team coach Dav Whatmore and stripped top order batsman Hamilton Masakadza of the captaincy just days before the arrival of India for three one-day internationals (ODIs) and two T20 games.

ZC made the decision after a review of the team’s performance in the 2016 ICC World T20 held in India where Zimbabwe failed to qualify for the main draw of the tournament after losing to Afghanistan in their final must-win preliminary match.
