Pro 50 starts tomorrow, good to see the domestic guys get a lot cricket in such a short space of time. I think ZCs hands were forced in regards to the start date as many guys will be off to the UK for club cricket, a few may even miss this competition.
Sunday 18th April
Tuskers v Mountaineers (Think this will be streamed)
Rhinos v Eagles

Someone here pointed out that he is in England playing for Loughborough.

ShareKudakwashe Macheka was hyped up by Jarvis for having some pace. Wonder how good he is.

Looks like Kaitano celebrated him being named as a reserve for the test squad pretty well!
Watching him in that T20 match where BT scored 140, he looked quite compact and assured. So, could be a guy working hard and doing a lot of things right.

He's been in England for several years. Was supposed to come to Zim for the first part of the Logan Cup before Christmas but didn't travel in the end - maybe Covid related or something. Hopefully he comes over next season.

Not a bad player, certainly not international standard

Looks like the Rhinos are well on their way to their first trophy.

Well done to the Rhinos first ever domestic trophy!!!
Ironically for the Rhinos who have always had a star studded lineup, they finally win their first trophy with a very much star-less lineup!!
Kaitano has had a really good season, he’s definitely improved a lot numbers wise and from what I’ve seen on the streams he looks a compact player.
Not sure how far he will go in the game, but I definitely think he will play for Zimbabwe one day.

Well done rhinos. Such a massive drought stretching all the way back to Midlands days.

Heard his parents paid ZC to make him part of the Rocks squad. Wonder if they got a refund? 😂 😂

Haha that’s quite surprising because he actually seems like a decent player!
Reminds me of the rumours that one of the lads in the last U19 squad paid his way into it! Ebrahim I think?

Yeah something like that.
I won’t say that is confirmed fact but let’s just say I have good information that makes me 99.99% confident.
And besides that fact, he was clearly useless. Batted 10 (like a number 10) and didn’t bowl.
I just hope the little p***k is happy that he pushed another (probably) poor kids dream opportunity out the window because he wanted to play pretend cricketer.
Imagine being a kid and having that taken away from you.

Especially after reading Blessing’s story of poverty and how the Rising Stars tour changed his life. That is really poor from all parties involved

The only time I think it is passable is when it’s semi privately organised and it wouldn’t have occurred otherwise. Some National under 15 type tours have been organised this way and funded form the parents. Ebrahim is welcome to pretend he is a cricketer in that instance and that is more than ok if daddy wants to fund that.
But a televised, prestigious under 19 tour is not on. Especially when you hear the Blessign poverty story as you mentioned.
Even if it was a well off kid, why break his little heart after busting his balls out.
