Brendan Taylor ??

I would be very surprised if Streak & Taibu aren't already talking to him. Money is one thing but fixtures is another. I don't think BRMT wants to return to play 10 ODIs a year and same with all players. We really need to start touring India & Australia again, I'm sure BRMT got bored of sitting at home then touring Bangladesh once every 4 years .....

Well now that the ODI league is approved, it ensures that all teams will play home/away with each other.

How many games will Zimbabwe play a year? Will we get to tour India & Australia ?

Jarvis is the prize catch right now given the predicament of seamers
Murray two
Taylor three
But cmon anyone half competent can get our best batter back !!

I'd say Welch and Byrom would be top 5 on the hit list also .....

The schedule hasnt been finalized, but "prelimenary" one was reported on cricinfo. Here it is:

So Zimbabwe's schedule would be:

Vs India
Vs 13th ranked side
@ Australia
@ Pakistan
Vs Bangladesh
Vs Afghanistan
@ Ireland
@ Sri Lanka

So yes there is a tour to Australia.

That looks great ....

That looks great ....

so that is a minimum of 12 ODIs per year. i am not sure what happens if teams want to schedule more than 3 matches per series.

I think only the first three count for points and the latter ones are disregarded (although still proper ODIs, of course)

Zimbabwe should also try for Mark Pettini, Bradley Wadlan.
Youths like Mark Olonga, Mazhawidza

i think thats stupid...all matches should count, but all series shouuld be weighted equally regardless of length.

Pettini..? Care to explain?

[ZIMDOGGY]

Supposedly they have a pretty good shot at getting both. Taylor's family - four young kids is still in Zimbabwe and Jarvis' girlfriend is as well. With the new structure in place, people are actually getting paid too.

Add Taylor and Jarvis to the group, where the selection now is based on talent - we could actually have a good squad.

This is interesting
