Christopher Mpofu, Zimbabwe's skilled pacer will miss the boat on the tour to New Zealand after not being able to recover in time from an injury. The gangling pacer will be swapped by Tendai Chatara.
Mpofu has been in misery due to back injury since the Stanbic T20 tournament. Chatara will unite the rest of the 20 man training squad for the only Test match which commences on 26th January. The two teams will also play 3 ODIs and 2 T20Is.
