Zimbabwe coach Lalchand Rajput exempted from touring Pakistan

ZIMBABWE head coach and former Indian cricketer Lalchand Rajput has been exempted from the Zimbabwe tour of Pakistan after the Indian embassy in Harare refrained the cricketer from traveling to Pakistan.

Rajput was appointed as Zimbabwe’s full-time coach in August 2018, after the team’s failure to qualify for the 2019 World Cup. He featured in two Tests and four One Day Internationals for India between 1985 and 1987.

A statement from Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) read that Rajput has been sidelined from the Pakistan tour upon the request of the Indian government representatives. The Pakistan Embassy in Harare had already issued a visa for him.

 Also, in the absence of Rajput, Douglas Hondo will coach the team for the three-match ODI and T20I series in Pakistan starting October 30.
