Blignaut to return to international cricket

Andy Blignaut is set to return to international cricket after being included in Zimbabwe\'s squad for the ICC World 20/20 in West Indies.



The 31-year-old allrounder was named in the 15-man group.



Blignaut last played for his country in 2005 before joining a strike by players dissatisfied with their contracts.



He was also involved in a dispute with Zimbabwe\'s cricket board in 2004, which resulted in the sacking of 15 senior white players.



Former Zimbabwe under-19 batsman Craig Ervine, the younger brother of Hampshire\'s Sean Ervine, was called into the national squad for the first time.



There is no place for the older Ervine, who is still tied to a contract in English county cricket.



Also missing are Stuart Matsikenyeri and Shingi Masakadza, who have been dropped following Zimbabwe\'s 4-1 loss in a recent one-day series in West Indies.



The 12-team 20/20 competition begins on April 30. Zimbabwe are grouped with Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
