Khama Billiat’s journey with the Zimbabwe Warriors has never been short of drama. The talented forward rose from youthful promise to national icon. Fans celebrated his pace, skill, and decisive goals. Yet his relationship with the national team has often shifted. He first retired from international football in 2021.
However, he later returned after persuasion from coach Michael Nees. His comeback revived hope for the Warriors’ attack. Although expectations grew, uncertainty never fully disappeared. Consequently, every squad announcement involving Billiat drew close attention. His story now takes another surprising twist. Reports again link him to another withdrawal. Supporters now wait for clarity.
Khama Billiat quits Warriors again
Sports journalist Tafadzwa Sticks Chigandiwa reported another shock. He claimed Khama Billiat has quit the Warriors again. Sources told him the forward has withdrawn from the squad. The team is preparing for AFCON in Morocco this December. Yet Billiat has reportedly decided not to travel with the team. Chigandiwa said Billiat will also skip the upcoming friendly matches. The reports remain unconfirmed by ZIFA.
However, the claims have created intense debate. The former Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star is said to have informed selectors early. This comes despite his recent impact in qualifiers. He even scored a crucial winner from the penalty spot. His form had raised hopes for a strong tournament. Billiat previously reversed retirement after Nees convinced him to return. That decision came in August last year.
Interestingly, his first retirement occurred in November 2021. Now fans question what triggered his latest withdrawal. Journalists suggest ZIFA paused the squad announcement due to Billiat and another senior player. Many supporters wonder if discussions may still happen. They hope he may reconsider again. For now, uncertainty surrounds his next move.
