Bit harsh on Bukawayo, that. They're as entitled to watch Test matches down there as in Harare.
Besides, the guys have to learn to cope with different conditions. They're not going to get many chances to do that touring overseas for the next few years, so QSC is the place to go.

I really like much the variation , since it does not give the boys a luxury .The ODI's can be a worthwhile warm up before the Test .

if the ZC wants to keep hosting teams they've got to do a better job as a host. whats up with all these 2-day tour games before a Test? the international standard these days is a three day match with/without FC status...

Agreed. It would be good for the young Zimbos to get an additional first class match under their belts against decent opposition as well...

Put simply, we don't have the money.
And teams are obliged to come anyways.
