Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Warriors defenders Tendayi Darikwa and Alec Mudimu have paid tribute to their former teammate Khama Billiat following his retirement from international football.<\/p>\n

Responding to Billiat\u2019s post on Twitter, the Wigan Athletic defender hailed his compatriot as one of the best. Said Darikwa:<\/p>\n

One of the best I\u2019ve shared a football pitch with. Well done on achieving a dream, my brother.<\/p>\n

Also responding to Billiat\u2019s tweet, Mudimu said it is an honour to have played in the same team Khama Billiat. He wrote:<\/p>\n

What an honour to share a pitch with you.<\/p>\n

Billiat announced his retirement on Monday through a statement he posted on his social media platforms.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old said he made the decision to pave way for the new generation.<\/p>\n

The Kaizer Chiefs forward walks away from the Warriors following a miserable FIFA 2020 World Cup qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n

The Warriors failed to win a single match after losing to all their opponents, Ghana (twice), South Africa (once) and Ethiopia (once), and drawing the other two games.<\/p>\n
