Agreed probably can't ignore Zhuwao, admittedly I don't know too much about his past. Boys I still struggle with the idea of giving Moor the gloves. Sorry but that Lanka tour nearly killed me. Chaks wasn't at his best either but the bloke is a good keeper and we need to stick with him. Can bat like a tank too when he uses his head.

They can probably both be in the same team.

Overall very excited for this series, definitely winnable, beating Lanka at home is no easy feat and who was the first team to chase 300 on the little island in history ;)

I feel like good contests will occur!

Regis may be the worst ODI batsman we have even seen for someone who has played over 30 ODIs.

All 7 matches in Dhaka? Thats kind of lame. At least its a proper tri series unlike the last time these had a triangular in BD.

On current form, these are 3 very evenly matched teams!

Actually BCB is more concerned of cost reduction.

Burl failed to deliver in odis, needs time. Prince Masvaure has been performing in domestic cricket and have done well for Zimbabwe A. Zhuwao is definately going to return for T20s against Afghanistan in UAE. Mumba is injured, he is suited for test then odis, in Bangladesh pacers who has got variation gets success, Mpofu and Tiripano can do it. Hence, pace bowlers with variations are needed, Madziva can also be another option.

Mutombodzi has to be there. As should Madziva, Wellington, Mutizwa and Zhuwao

There is no justification for the presence of Jarvis and Moor. Brendan Taylor has to keep in LOIs.

Hami
Mire
Craig
Taylor(wk)
Raza
Mutombodzi
Madziva
Chisoro
Cremer(c)
Chatara
Wellington
---------------
Musakanda
Mpofu
Mutizwa
Zhuwao
Jongwe

In those conditions, this is the perfect squad! And picked on merit!
