I didn't want to start a new thread but these rumours from the Zimbabwe Independent are interesting

The new contract system will allow for at least three overseas professionals per franchise.
Latest players said to be considering moves back home are the highly-rated Zimbabwean-born Gary Ballance, who was on the books at Derbyshire in the UK as a 16-year-old, and James Cameron, the former Zimbabwe cricket and rugby youth international who was only signed by Worcestershire in January.

Ex-Zimbabwe batsman Murray Goodwin is also being courted by one of the franchises for a player-coach role.

If this is indeed true, then that's great news. Gary Ballance looks to be a very good cricketer, as does James Cameron. And I think it's fair to say, we all know what Murray Goodwin's capable of :D

this is very exciting news if true. having murray goodwin back (he left on good terms) would rock. he could give so much good coaching to the players.
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.
