Opening post

1. Marumani

2. Madhevere

3. Taylor

4. Ervine

5. Williams

6. Myers

Burl/raza/jongwe

How is this for a good side. Lovely blend of youth experience
Just saw in Twitter, Raza is training with the team and Chibhabha might be out as he had a dental surgery few days ago. Hopefully, this time around, we are going to have a right squad.

Marumani

Wesley

Craig

Taylor

Myers

Williams(c)

Raza

Regis

Jongwe

Blessing

Ngarava

I just pray we can be at full strength for once. It's been a really long time since this has happened.

Ervine has only played 1 game for the national team this year
Legend
Marumani

BT

Ervine

Williams

Regis(wk)

Raza/Myers

Wes

Jongwe

Blessing

Ngarava

Chatara

Myers loses out for me in the first game if Raza is fit and BT has given up on the gloves. Regis has to play at 5 for me if he is in the team. He can be useful there.

The other option would be to drop Ngarava and add Myers. Ngarava might not be that effective in ODIs against Bangladesh specifically.
When the squad will be announced?
If Chibhabha doesn't play, we will surely have a balanced side. There is no way they will play KT, Chari, Maruma or Mutumbami this time. Even if some of the big guys miss out, we might still have Musakanda, Wellington and Chisoro in the wings, and we know they are not that bad.

wellington and Chisoro will be canon fodder against Bangladesh even on a dustbowl. pack the team with seamers cuz Williams and or Raza are the best spin options. Burl if fit might have troubled us because we are pathetic against wrist spin.

I would pick Brighton chipungu in that squad. He could be the surprise find of the year

Having raza Williams and ervine playing in the ODI is massive. All of them average above 30 and will add clout to out batting line up not to mention madhevere and marumani and myers.
if u use correct persons for cricket..u r in rank 5 easily..u can win so many series
Jongwe has to play all the matches. He is someone like Bravo, who brings that stability in the death overs. Last series, he really bowled well with his slower balls. And, he can hit few sixes in last few overs.

Ffs why would you leave out Myers? He, in my opinion, is going to be greater than Madhevere in the future. This kid can not only bat but he can hit them out of the park with ease plus he could chip in with few useful overs. Chakabva should never be in that ODI side, what has he done up to now in ODI to earn a place? Zimbabwe should groom Marumani into a wicket-keeping batsmen and now is the time to do so. Yes he was awful with the gloves against Pakistan but at such a young age, he will definitely learn the art of keeping quickly. Regarding the batting line-up, I would promote BT to open with Marumani since he is not going to keep according to someone of you.

1) Brendan Taylor

2) T. Marumani ( WK)

3) C. Ervine

4) S. Williams

5) W. Madhevere

6) D. Myers

7) S. Raza

8) R. Burl ( Jongwe if Burl isn't available)

9) B. Muzarabani

10) T. Chatara

11) R. Ngarava

Would you risk giving Marumani the gloves in a Super League match? We also shouldn't put too much pressure on kids who just want to play their natural game. If you watch soccer you saw what happened when England made a 19 year old take the most crucial penalty. These guys are very young. Marumani wasn't even the first choice keeper at u19 level. He is probably just a high school wicket keeper

I don't like Regis in the team but he is actually in decent form this year and is the best option we have. The other option would be to force Taylor to take the gloves until we figure this out

Chakbva definitely deserves a place in test but in ODI he is not going to add any value to the team, he is very slow and his strike rotation is extremely weak. The talk of putting these young kids under pressure is nonsense in my opinion, you only improve by being tested and put under pressure against quality sides. Taylor must keep in these important ODI league games so that they do not have to leave young prodigies like Myers, Marumani, Madhevere and Burl out of the team. These kids need as many games as possible before the 2023 World cup qualifiers begin.

I believe jongwe will be in the starting 11 but I would bat him at 8

Is there no big hitting fast bowling all rounder in Zimbabwe, someone like Andy Blignaut or Heath Streak? At least in U19 set up.
Brad Evans is good. He was selected for A team recently, but preferred to play some UK club cricket. Luke Jongwe, Donald Tiripano are good on their day.

It's scary how much Ryan Murray would benefit this side. SOS needed.

He bats and is probably the best gloveman we've had in decades.
