Zimbabwe's rebel players have agreed to make themselves available for selection, the Zimbabwe Cricket Union said on Wednesday.

"It has been agreed between the ZCU and the 15 cricketers who have up to now been unavailable for selection that... (they) will be at practice with effect from April 30," said the ZCU.

The players had demanded the reinstatement of Heath Streak as captain, a new selection panel and for the ZCU to acknowledge transgressions the players say were committed by officials.

But the dispute, sparked on April 2 when the ZCU isntalled Tatenda Taibu as captain after Streak questioned the composition of the selection panel, is set to continue at arbitration.

"The 15 cricketers will be communicating through their legal practitioners to the ZCU's legal practitioners a proposal for a dispute resolution procedure, which the ZCU will consider when received," the ZCU statement said.

One of the players, who declined to be named, told Reuters the saga was not over.

"We have agreed to go back on Friday but we're certainly still trying to push for arbitration," the player said. "It's definitely not the end of all this.

"We're trying to show good faith once again and we're going to practice but if certain things aren't sorted out we're going back to square one."

The rebels will not play in the fifth and final one-day international against Sri Lanka in Harare on Thursday but, barring further fallouts with the board, they will be available for first of two test matches in Harare from May 6.

Zimbabwe had to select an under-strength squad for the one-day series and Sri Lanka won the first four matches.
