Zimbabwe will begin the search for a new captain after Elton Chigumbura resigned following their drawn series with Bangladesh.
Elton Chigumbura has stepped down from leading Zimbabwe in all three forms of the game after guiding them to a 2-2 Twenty20 series draw with Bangladesh.
On Friday, Zimbabwe battled their way to an 18-run victory in the fourth T20 in Khulna, the tourists recording back-to-back wins to comeback from 2-0 down to salvage a draw.
Following the victory Chigumbura – who took has led all three teams since July 2014 – announced his resignation, leaving Zimbabwe looking for his replacement ahead of the ICC World T20.
"I have enjoyed the challenges that came with leading the team," he said in a statement.
"Now I feel it's the best time to leave it to the next guy to lead us so I can focus on my game as a player.
"I am sure I will lead from the front as a senior player as I still believe I have more years of playing in me and of winning games for the team."
