Former Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor will play for his country after almost three years.

The 31-year-old has been allowed to leave Trent Bridge to return home to Zimbabwe "for family reasons", according to bbc.com.

Taylor played a key role in Nottinghamshire's T20 Blast and One-Day Cup trophy wins this season.

"Winning two trophies, including one at Lord's, has been a real highlight in my career," Taylor said. 

Taylor has played 23 Tests, 167 one-day internationals and 37 T20 internationals for Zimbabwe. He scored hundreds in his last two ODIs; the latest came against India in the 2015 World Cup.
