New Captain Says Zimbabwe Will Cope At Test Level

Zimbabwe's new cricket captain Brendan Taylor admits he was surprised to get the job but says his form won't be affected.

"Yes I was surprised, but happy at the same time," Taylor told the Associated Press on Sunday. "I know it's different when you are captain, but I don't see it affecting my performance."

Taylor was named captain on Friday ahead of Zimbabwe's test comeback against Bangladesh in August.

The 25-year-old opening batsman replaces all-rounder Elton Chigumbura, who resigned in April before briefly overturning his decision.

Taylor said Zimbabwe can perform at the highest level.
