"He said he is now mature enough to realise he wants to play for his country.
"His coach at Everton, Roberto Martínez, brought him in as a cover defender, so he was under pressure to deliver, as cover for those players who would be injured, or gone for international duties and returned not fit enough.
"So, it was difficult for him, at that time, to commit to the national team as he also had the pressure of trying to make it at Everton. He wanted to secure his future first.
"There was also the influence from his family, he comes from a big family, and the rest of the family is still in Zimbabwe, and are so excited about him playing for his country.
"His grandmother is there. He was born in Zimbabwe and attended St Michael's Primary before he left for UK."
