SEAMER Kyle
Jarvis returned on Tuesday night from New Zealand also making a timely return
for Mashonaland Eagles ahead of their Castle Lager T20 final clash against the
Mutare based Mountaineers this Sunday.
Jarvis who
had a great time on the field in New Zealand was seen on Wednesday morning
going through the paces with the national team that is in camp for a month long
tour to the West Indies in a fortnight.
Jarvis,
who has been turning out for Central Districts in New Zealand’s Plunket Shield
four-day competition, will be expected to spearhead the bowling attack that
also include Tino Mutombodzi, Prosper Utseya, Ray Price and Chamu Chibhabha who
will be released from national team camp to feature for their paymasters.
Eagles
coach Steve Mangongo applauded the homecoming of his strike bowler saying that
it will add value towards winning the silverware. “We are boosted by the
arrival of Jarvis; he is a key bowler and good boost to the team. He is a
seasoned pro who we will be looking to lead the attack” said Mangongo
“We know
he has had good experience in New Zealand and this will surely bring balance into
the team. Remember we also have Tino and the other usual suspects.” Added the pompous
Mangongo
On the
final, Mangongo said: “we are keeping it tight. It’s getting big and we are
happy with preparations. The boys are up for it.’ Although the Eagles ended the
round of matches without tasting defeat, the gaffer says this will be his main
worry as he feels the boys will get reluctant to fly. “We were undefeated but I
am worried by complacency that they have done well they might walk over it. A
new day has a new game so they must expect something new. Said Mangongo
He went on
to say “We have done everything in terms of preparations; we are training all
day for the past three days so we are living no stone unturned”. Mangongo
recently won the Pro50 Championship hence he will be aiming to make win other
title in less than a year in charge of the Eagles.
