Zim U-14 team to play in SA

I think you are guys are going to see the results of the intergration of our Juniors to play with SA provinces in 5-10 years . In Zim our Juniors only play during school time and their games are limited .There is little time for them to practice in the middle under game conditions . Most of the deficiencies in technique that our current players have is as a result of inadequate middle time when they were juniors .When you are Juniors things like lack of footwork , playing spin , swinging action , reading game situation can be taught earlier on .

What I advocate for is to reviive our schools provincial system and get the boys to play more cricket domestically .

Were some teams are weaker , Harare can be split between Mash Central & Mash West & Byo Mat North & Mat South to make the structure competitive .That set up can be split between say Eastern provinces vs Western Provinces with the top two provinces battling it out in the semis then a final .School games could be during the week and provincial games during

For example Manicaland vs Mash East

Manicaland would have players from Mutare Boys High ,Hillcrest , Dangamvura High , St Dominics

Mash East - Peterhouse ,Watershed ,Marondera High ,

The Strength of the future Zim team will lie in the strength of our nursery garden , the Schools system.
