Let's not forget that the domestic tourneys seem to have been without sponsors this season as well. Even in the worst years, the Pro50 at least usually had someone connected with it (Faithwear or Metbank, usually...).

Mash Eagles had a deal with Aon last year, but their shirts this season have looked as lame as the current Zim shirts...
Things will only get better. We have a big schedule ahead of us, playing against India and sri lanka etc. AC mentioned that we're travelling to India whilst on the commentary box during the first ODI which will only benefit the team.
Therefore the sponsers should be more interested and will hopefully come flocking in.
Unless everything hits the fan with another player exodus and 'postponed' tours.
My All-time Zimbabwe XI
Neil Johnson, Brendan Taylor, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), David Houghton, Sean Williams, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Paul Strang, Eddo Brandes, Blessing Muzarabani
According to the Herald, former long time major sponsor Old Mutual is back in the mix with a development sponsorship deal. Good to see; my mental image of a Zimbabwe shirt is one with an Old Mutual logo it used to be that familiar!
the forgotten victim of the white exodus is the sponsor.
generally in the past all the sponsors were white headed companies. probably they were keen fans... have a look at sam levy village shops its like looking at a catalogue of former sponsors.
