Zimbabwe go into tomorrow's first Twenty20 international against Pakistan at Harare Sports Club with captain Brendan Taylor confident that the players have put their most recent scuffle with the board behind them.
The month-long tour will see the two sides face off in two Twenty20 matches, three one-day internationals and two Tests, but Zimbabwe's preparations were thrown into disarray last week when the players refused to train after negotiations over unpaid salaries and future contracts broke down.
Although the players came to an agreement with Zimbabwe Cricket last Friday and returned to training, fast bowler Kyle Jarvis announced on Sunday that he was quitting international cricket in favour of a county contract.
Nevertheless Taylor expects his side to move on mentally as they look to present a challenge to Pakistan.
"I think we've all been around long enough to put that aside now," Taylor told AFP in a telephone conversation. "ZC have met us in the middle and there's nothing more to harp on about it.
"We've discussed this as players and it's time to move forward and try and represent our country as well as we can."
Taylor admitted that Jarvis' decision had come as a surprise to his teammates and hoped that the 24-year-old will return to play for Zimbabwe in the future.
