The former Warriors captain who announced his “international retirement” after the botched Afcon 2013 bid that ended in a 2-0 away loss to Angola, which he missed out on due to injury, said he would fight to get back his starting berth in the national team.
This could come as a welcome boost for coach Klaus Dieter Pagels, whose side host Egypt in what appears to be a doomed fight for a place in the next round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup to be played in Brazil.
Zimbabwe lost the reverse fixture 2-1 away to the Pharaohs and with it, their chances flew out of the window. Kapini wishes to be one of the players to least restore national pride by winning the remaining fixtures.
“I’m working extra hard to be selected because I want to reclaim my position in the national team,” said the Amazulu captain. “I know that I have to first impress the new coach and that will happen only if I double my efforts at Amazulu. I have not yet quit and will continue to play for my country for as long as my legs can.”
