Opening post


T20I squad: Munim Shahriar, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Liton Das, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan Sohan (Captain), Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Mosaddek Hossain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Parvez Hossain Emon.

ODI squad: Tamim Iqbal (Captain), Liton Das, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Afif Hossain, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mosaddek Hossain, Taijul Islam.


Full strength squad for the ODIs (minus Shakib). Shanto hopefully will continue to bat at 3, and score should score big to get his career rolling in ODIs. I would also like to see Mosaddek get some chances up the order, especially if we're chasing low totals. Hoping we bat first in all 3 ODIs so that everyone gets a chance to bat.

T20 side is completely chaotic at the moment, Nurul has been named the captain, but only for this series. No Mushfiqur or Mahmudullah, with Tamim already retired.
Bangladesh cricket fanatic, observer of all others.

How are zimbabwe coffers after world cup progression and incoming india tour?

Im guessing a lot more healthy whixh could be attractive for the dispora

I would like houghton to work on matigimu too. That lad is a talent

Told you all that there's 3 players who are on the hit list

We need both Ballance and Welch to even have a slight chance to make the next ODI world cup. The only thing I want to see is if they will allow Wes and Shumba to be replaced because they are the weakest links at the moment. That could get controversial with the typical racism talk. I think 1 of them could sit out without people noticing but both of them could end up being a problem. They are the "golden boys".

My worry too. It's all well and good having no quotas and picking 7 or 8 white players in the team as long as we win. But the minute we lose or have a tough run the wolves will be out and everything will go to s**t again with the usual suspects chiming in.

Ballance's recent history in particular is ripe for controversy.

All these guys coming back is both extremely exciting but also quite worrying in a way.

Zimbabwe have been losing to associates for too long and have gone down in ranking whilst others have gone up.

We cant not have our best side on the park if all players are available just because of a perceived injustice to young black players. Do we want to win? Do we want to qualify for future tournaments?

Shumba and madhevere will be around the squad in any case. They arent going to be jettisoned completely. They are the future

Will be truly wonderful if ZIM can get some talent back, especially with the T20 WC and the WC Qualifiers up ahead. Should be very exciting if it happens, although as of now I won't get my hopes up.

Yes its exciting but in a sense Houghton needs to tread carefully or we will get the rhodesian takeover bollocks comments from usual suspects.

It all depends on what brand of cricket the board want to take forward. Surely best side onn the park is a win win

Anyone with access to that Australian article want to copy and paste the text here? It's behind a paywall I think.
File is too large sorry, I could email it if you were desperate but there’s nothing in it that you wouldn’t already know.

^ No worries pal.

Marumani bossing it yet again today, which he has done more or less every weekend this club season. 93* off 39 balls. Ridiculous that he's been in every national squad this year but only played 1 game. He can't do much more.

Anyway, nice to see a few of the younger players including Wes and Shumba turning out for their club today despite being inbetween series. I see Hamilton even played for Takashinga - out for a golden duck! 😂

B Curran is surely quite unlikely? He’s a citizen by descent, not birth. So he can’t hold dual nationality and he’d have to resign his British citizenship to get a Zim passport which is a pretty big and risky life choice right there.

The others were all born here so don’t have that problem.


Is this a verified fact? I thought dual citizenship was allowed for all Zimbabweans.

Maybe the law has changed, not sure. It used to distinguish between 'citizenship by birth' and 'citizenship by descent'. The former can hold dual nationality, the latter can not. But maybe it has changed?

Reckon that nick welch and also dusty melton should be low hanging fruit.

I would be excited to see welch in the 20 20 side at the world cup. He has the goods in that format

Someone reliable told me the other day that Melton is probably coming to try out for a franchise side here for sure. Injury-dependent though. A much less reliable source says that Welch has been offered a ZC contract but I'm not sure on that, seems a bit soon as we don't know his Leicestershire future yet.

Ballance rumours have been strong since the qualifier final last week and people are getting excited. But there are two big problems - his recent racism thing and how some people here might react, and secondly; his long-term (and expensive) contract at Yorkshire which still has three seasons to run.

Melton and Welch are two of the three I've been told, may as well say it. I don't think the latter has been offered anything by ZC but I do know his recent form in the T20's in the Blast has opened up a lot of eyes and made people take note.
ZCF OriginalZCF Hall of Famer
Not sure about Ballance. I've not heard anything from my source
ZCF Hall of Famer
Funny thing was that about 2 years ago approached ZC and asked for details about the size of a contract they could give him.

ZC never got back to him.

Ballance and Yorkshire has mutual termination with a large settlement written all over it.

Raza must be a dual Pakistani/Zim citizen?

All Ballance has to say is that his racism was only directed at a brown guy and not a black guy and everyone will go- oh all right then, nothing to see here, moving swiftly along 😂

The sheer cheek of that guy appropriating racism 😂
