Charles Kunje would have been a better option in terms of future prospects as opposed to someone like Maruma.

Biggest Joke by Zimbabwe Selectors, 12 international experience players are selected for Zimbabwe A.

"A" team is picked on the basis of domestic cricket performers with emphasis given on uncapped players. Because of this neglection, players are going away from Zimbabwe

Would have liked to see Kunje in there I'm not going to lie. And every time I see Maruma there I cringe so very badly :roll: Need to move on

Also, what a wasted squad. What are guys like Sikandar, Chakbava, Chatara, Chibhabha, Maruma, Panyangara, and Tiripano doing in an A team tour of Namibia? If we were touring Sri Lanka, sure, but for Namibia?!
