Tendai Chisoro called up into ODI squad (Replaces Waller)

Too soon in my view! Even if he does well in the ODIs.
Hami's continued exclusion confirms that he was wrongly dropped for form. Why Whatmore & Ziehl ar enot being pilloried for this here is beyond me. With Wellington, Nyumbu & Mutombodzi doing well, add Chisoro to that, how will Cremer get back without unfair decisions being made considering his ODI record wasn't exactly impressive, since Williams(&Raza) is part of the fold? Plus some of these spinner seem to have bowled better than he did, although we didn't get to watch them. It woul be impossible to argue for his inclusion, while Hami is kept out one should think. All of a sudden, Cremer might not make another ODI, T20 or Test squad.
Clearly they want to play a strong team, so Hami should be selected, otherwise he can effectively be ruled out of the tour to Bangladesh. Which is lokking to be the case.
They'll probably persist with: Chamu, Mutumbami(wk), Craig, Williams, Raza, Chigumbura(c), Mutombodzi, Jongwe, Nyumbu, Panyangara, Wellington
Muzarabani has stated his case. Chari will be next in if any batsman fails. Likewise Chisoro with the spinners. Neville Madziva hasn't played. Rotation means he's likely to get a look in. Both as a batsman & wicket keeper Regis Chakabva is next in line. Zimbabwe will be light on seamers though if something were to happen so the biggest question mark lies there in view of the tours coming up.
I have a funny feeling Zimbabwe will be bowled out for some emarassingly low scores in Bangladesh. They've already shown signs of the inability to post huges scores in ODIs&T20s lately. Can only get worse in Bangladesh. They'll be looking for some ranking points to get closer to the teams above them.

Hami should have replaced Waller, not Chisoro.

Chisoro I my view should have been playing the Four day game agaist the Irish instead.
The Afghans have had three matches to work him out, he will be blunted. Worse, he might only get to play only one game. So we have missed a golden opportunity to test him out against different opposition.

I feel he has earnt a chance he bowled very well last season and was the standout player from the Chairmans XI ......

Agree with most of this. I think that is what they consider the 1st choice XI to be at the moment, although that can always change at the drop of a hat. I'd still like to see Hamilton in the squad at the very least. He is undoubtedly better than Chari.
Also, Bangladesh is going to be a huge challenge as the last few tours there have shown. The home side will deservedly be big favourites in all formats.
