The Magesi star last played for the Warriors four years ago and admitted that he would have to work hard to earn another recall into the Zimbabwean national team.
“For now, I’m just focused on making the club grow,” Chipezeze told media after the final.
“That’s the most important thing now. I would also like to go back into the national team, but the guys there are doing well.
“It’s also good that I’m also now in the fold, with the performances, through hard work, at the end of the day, it’s the coach's decision.
“All I can do is continue working hard because it’s pointless for you not to perform and expect to be called for the national team."
