Looks like the academy is up and running. Below is a picture of some of the first intake with Gary Brent.
Can anyone name the players? (I can't).

I've seen some photos on line as well, looks good although the intake is very small (is this normal?)
Anyone know who these kids are?

Can the academies of Campbell, Streak, Mawoyo and Brent realistically dream of producing Zim international stars? How would ZC treat such a scenario?

Another Masakadza brother? :shock: Cant be a coincidence that he was named after a city in New Zealand.

Stop calling this s**t ‘academies’ and call it what it is, private coaching.
I think Oz has 2 academies or so supporting a 24 million population.
Zimbabwe have 4 supporting a cricket community of 600.

Chiradza and Chitumba are ok. I thought Dollar was at Uni? I will find out. I’ve watched him a bit, tough guy, plays with hard hands and goes too hard at the ball, he was in the last u19 squad.
If Makoni Jr is in that side then it’s fully endorsed by ZC.
They had some sort of trial for the last intake so I’m assuming that didn’t happen this time around.
I wonder what the last intake will be up to? That’s the problem, they’re improving a few guys that are fairly limited and then there’s nothing for them after this because we really need that 5th franchise.
That academy is expensive, but I’m glad to see Brent half way back in the system because he has much to offer.
There’s a funny clip on twitter of one of the guys trying to balance on a gym ball and catch at the same time. That guy was so bad at it that it looked like a bar game and he’d just slugged a bottle of vodka 😂

Well the ACHPP is to be added as the 5th side for the 2019/2020 First Class, List A and T20 season. Interesting times ahead.

Well they’ve just taken Taibu’s plan and handed it to Campbell who runs it long distance and Brent is the man on the ground.
Gary Brent is such a hard working passionate guy, I have great admiration for him.
Having this as the 5th franchise is a big plus, but it excludes the other guys who did well in the Rising Stars set up. I can’t name any offhand.
Watch Brent make these guys competitive next season.
The way this country is headed we’ll be lucky to even be here. No fuel, no electricity and no hope at the moment.
