Brendan Taylor is a 39-year-old Zimbabwean cricketer who, as of late 2025, has made a comeback to international cricket after serving a 3.5-year ban for an anti-corruption code breach. He is an experienced wicket-keeper batsman and former captain, and is currently an active player for the Zimbabwe national team.
Taylor is considered one of Zimbabwe's finest batsmen in the modern era and holds several national records, including the most international centuries across all formats (17 total). He served a 3.5-year ban from all cricket, which ended in July 2025, and subsequently returned to the national side with the 2027 World Cup in mind. He has played recent matches in late 2025, including Tests against New Zealand and Afghanistan, and a T20 match against Sri Lanka.
