A former Zimbabwe coach feels former Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat should be called up for the World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Lesotho.
Billiat is back in home nation after signing with Yadah FC on a free transfer earlier this year.
The former Kaizer Chiefs winger retired from international football in 2021 after the team failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Former Zimbabwe team manager Wellington Mpandare feels the best players should always be in the Warriors squad.
“Khama is still a quality player, it’s something that I always knew but now everyone is also convinced having watched him play,” Mpandare said, as per Soccer24.
“He is simply one of the best players in the league, if not the best. So if the next (Warriors) coach wants him, they why not?
”If the coach wants him and if he is still interested, I don’t see any reason why he shouldn’t represent Zimbabwe again. We all know what he is capable of doing, and we also know the passion he had for the national team.
“The best players should play for the national team, and Khama is one of our best players, simple."
Billiat was asked about returning to the national side after he joined Yadah.
“If everything is enjoyable, you never know. I’m not promising anything, but i love my country so much, and now that I’m back home and feeling so much loved, I can still change my mind (to play for the Warriors),” said Billiat.
