DABENGWA SECURES CONTRACT IN SCOTLAND

A Scottish cricket club called Ferguslie has signed Matabeleland Tuskers and national team hopeful all rounder Keith Dabengwa.

Dabz as he is known in the cricket circles is an experienced left-arm spin bowling all-rounder, who has represented Zimbabwe in 48 matches between 2005 and 2010. He has to date, played 240 domestic matches across all three formats.
 
Speaking to OFF THE CREASE in an interview Dabz says he is looking at sharpening his skills in Scotland. "I am going there to work on a few areas of my cricket, l love challenges and definately this will be yet another chance for me to improve my game" he said
 
The 32-year-old, who is heavily involved with coaching in Zimbabwe cricket, has previously enjoyed one (albeit brief) season's league cricket abroad. A favourite of former national team coach Walter Chawaguta, Dabengwa had some flashes of brilliance during his days with the national team he however seems to have fallen out of favour with the Givemore Makoni led selection panel.
 
On the issue of him missing in action for his country in the recent past Dabengwa was quick to say he has areas he still needs to work on as an allrounder.
"I am not worried that much about being in the national team, l know l will bounce back. l need to work on a few areas of my cricket hence the move to Scotland during the off season" he added
 
In 2006, Dabengwa played for Hampshire club Lymington in the Southern Electric Premier league, before heading to the West Indies on national duty mid-season.
The all-rounder will join Ferguslie for their Cricket Scotland League Western First Division campaign in April.
 
He will follow in the footsteps of fellow countryman and CricX stable-mate Malcolm Waller who played a brief stint for the club last summer
