Opening post

The series is reduced to 3 ODIs and 3 T20s instead of the 5 T20s originally planned and it has also been advanced by 10 days. Don't know what's the reason behind it.

Afghanistan have announced strong squads, may be they are trying out some new players in T20s bit ODI squad is absolutely full strength.

Afghanistan ODI squad: Hashmatullah Shahidi (C), Rahmat Shah (VC), Azmatullah Omarzai, Farid Malik, Fazal Haq Farooqi, Ibrahim Zadran, Ikram Alikhail, Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Riaz Hassan, Shahidullah Kamal, Yamin Ahmadzai, Zia ur Rahman Akbar

T20I squad: Mohammad Nabi (C), Najibullah Zadran (VC), Afsar Zazai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Darwish Rasooli, Farid Ahmad Malik, Fazal Haq Farooqi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ihsanullah Janat, Karim Janat, Nijat Masoud, Noor Ahmad, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Sharafuddin Ashraf and Usman Ghani

I wonder if Sean Williams will call it a day, unless he is injured, I don't see any reason for him not to join the team.

I Kaia looks decent

How did Gwandu bowl

Not watching but how can Myers get run out ffs. This innings was important in terms of understanding how good he still is, or where he stands in terms of national call up.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Myers was a silly run-out, took an attempted quick single.
ZCF Hall of Famer
Their seamers have looked very ordinary. But we'll probably capitulate now the spinners are on.

Innocent Kaia looks ok doesnt he

Myers in the squad due to lack of batting depth is okay. But is Myers committed to Zimbabwe cricket in future.

Evans would have been a better pick over Chivanga/Tripano.

Someone genuinely believes Tiripano and Chivanga are better bowlers than Brad Evans 😂 😂

Myers hasn't played cricket for 9 months and yet he gets straight into the squad? Kick in the teeth for those guys that have been putting in the effort for the past 8 months of doemstic cricket.

Ainsley Ndlovu recalled from the UK. I don't mind this - probably a better option than Mavuta tbh.

Haha.. No Evans despite Ngarava not there is total bull s**t, but nothing new here we expect this from ZC don't we? Bloody ridiculous.

Madande is another stupid pick, clearly has been a big failure in Nepal and now in the warm ups, probably won't get a game and is in as a reserve keeper. What happened to Marumani?

Chivanga another poor pick. Hard to believe he is picked ahead of Evans (who also gives batting depth) in a sane world. This is why I have given up on these people.

I don't mind Madande being there, as you say he won't be getting a game. He'll learn from being around the squad so that's fine.

Marumani pulled out of the Namibia squad with injury/illness but was training with the squad the last few days - maybe his injury has flared up again idk.

Ok that explains about Marumani. I really fear Willo will retire, terribly disappointing not to see him.

This is the 2nd time I'm seeing Jonathan Campbell and both times he has looked good to me with his batting, which surprised me because his domestic numbers aren't that good. His bowling is not worth it, I admit. I definitely see a lot of potential in his batting though.

How is Evans not in there, and where the hell is Myers from (like him though) but what form is he in?
