with the performance of ZIM in Lanka, I would not mind if the BCB invited ZIM to replace Austrailia.

I think Bangladesh know Zimbabwe too well, plus their batsmen would be rathe rimmune against Zim's "spin" attack.Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2017 8:12 pmwith the performance of ZIM in Lanka, I would not mind if the BCB invited ZIM to replace Austrailia.

I think a Zim tour of BD would be very smart right now. I highly doubt Australia will fulfil their tour obligations so Zim could step in.
according to the present but soon to be revised FTP, BD was not scheduled to tour ZIM till 2020. but I agree that is stupid and unfair/imbalanced.Black Mamba wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2017 3:13 pmbrmtaylor.com admin wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2017 2:42 pmOn commentary I think they said West Indies are touring Zim for 2 Tests soon.

Zimbabwe Should'nt tour Bangladesh, as Bangladesh full tour of Zimbabwe still pending ( 3 tests, 5 odis, 3 t20s). BCB uses Zimbabwe to fill the gapes by asking them tour to Bangladesh. Time for Zimbabwe to act smart and play Netherlands, Scotland for their return tour to Zimbabwe, as World Cup Qualification Tournament are a year away, its better to give importance to these teams.
A Tri Series featuring Zimbabwe,Netherlands & Scotland will be an exciting tournament.

IMO, it would unwise for the ZC to outright reject a tour of/with BD, for no reason. Unless the ZC feels their players have been playing a lot of cricket and need a break to remain fresh for future tours.Black Mamba wrote: ↑Mon Jul 17, 2017 2:39 am
Whatever may be, Zimbabwe tour to Bangladesh in 2014-15 for a full tour and in 2016 for odis & t20s. The news has been BCB rejected to make full tour Zimbabwe in 2016, and always try to bring Zimbabwe to compensate the gap when other country doesn't tour Bangladesh.Neither they seems intetested in sending their A Team to Zimbabwe.
At present Aussies are about to cancel their all fixtures tour of Bangladesh & India, for payment disputes. Zimbabwe doing well in Sri Lanka will again make BCB to invite Zimbabwe to play in Bangladesh. Zimbabwe should'nt accept this proposal if it comes, they should get Bangladesh to tour Zimbabwe first, then think again of touring Bangladesh.

The BCB has so far honored all the FTP commitments vis a vis ZC. They have neglected to play A team series with anyone, so its not that they have been snubbing Zimbabwe. As far as a tour in 2016, the BCB does not like to arrange extra tours outside the FTP during their domestic tournaments for some reason, and I believe the 2016 tour of ZIM would have clashed with the DPL tournament. The BCB has also declined to play WI due to a clash with the domestic schedule, and very recently has even turned down a tri series with India for that reason. I don't agree with that practice, but thats what the BCB does. So its really unfair to blame the BCB.
If the BCB does propose a series to ZIM, I would hope the ZC accepts it. I wouldn't mind them playing an away series in ZIM either, provided the weather is good. The BCB has up till now, denied that they are looking at replacing Australia, but if they had to, my guess would be that they would try NZ or possible the WI.
