In addition to this the official MidWest Rhinos website has Justin Lewis as an 'A' team player while the following are shown as 'B' team

Simon Mugava, R Benarde, Nathan Waller, Richard Muzhange, Tafadzwa Mpofu, R MacDonald, Luther Mutyambizi, Alexander Mavhiko, N Madziwa, Duncan Robertson with Mluleki Nkala listed as player/coach

Jason Gillespie will have C Mahacha as his assistant coach/manager, T Wambe as physio and S van Rensburg as fitness instructor

Here is the club website link http://www.midwestrhinos.co.zw/


We do look a little short of players with the cricinfo list showing only 15 seniors, it will be interesting to see if there are any more new faces to be announced

Making his debut in the first 40 over game is Thomas Benade a 28 year old former Academy batsman who has not played since 2004

Roland Benard made his first class debut, a mystery supposed former Academy player, he played twice against South Africa U19's in july 2010, but then could he be Ronald Benade who played for the U19's in 2005/6 ?

Most of his tweets seem to be from him. The website is pure PR fluff. :)
