The whereabouts of...

[ZIMFAN]

I know that sometimes getting information that is anything other than hearsay is difficult but I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about...

* Dion Ebrahim - wasn't he meant to be signing for the Eagles?

* Glen Querl - I thought he had signed for a province.

* Greg Strydom - Has not signed his contract, does anyone know why?

Also what about the foreign players...

Compton, Shreck, Greg Smith - should they not be playing by now or were they 20/20 only?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Dion Ebrahim was not offered a contract by tuskers and i think he is playin club cricket in England(not sure though)
and Greg Strydom has decided to quit cricket.Had a chat with him on fb,he said he will think abt playing 20/20,otherwise i dont think we will see him play again.

Ebrahim if off to play in NZ

I'm surprised that the Tuskers didn't keep hold of Ebrahim and Strydom. Ebrahim in particular was a very consistent performer for them last season, whilst Strydom captained for long periods. Surely another franchise would have wanted Ebrahim...

Strydom's quit ??
Damn ! I loved whatching him biff the ball about, would have been a good addition to our T20 squad to South Africa

You can add Dylan Higgins, Dougie Marrilliar and Ryan Ervine and Matthews Williams to that lost of players.....

Ryan Ervine is still in the Rocks squad as far as I know, but wasn't a regular last year, and their side is stronger this season. I think Matt Williams was probably released by the Tuskers, as he wasn't really anywhere near the first team, and didn't really pull up any trees in their second team either. Dougie Marillier was only signed by the Eagles for the T20, so was never likely to be around full time. Dylan Higgins is a good question, I've no idea. He might have gone to Uni outside the country...

I think the toughest thing for Zimbabwe cricket now is to keep good quality domestic players (i.e. those not of international standard but still good cricketers). The lure of international cricket and decent money should be enough to keep the likes Sean Williams, Brendan Taylor, and others around, but for those not of international standard it is going to be more difficult to stay. Even though the franchise system has improved the money situation, Zimbabwe is still a tough place to live with limited education and work possibilities. It is understandable that many young cricketers would rather play and live in England, New Zealand, Australia, or South Africa.

Yes good point Eugene, but somebody like Dylan Higgins had the potential to be a very good leg spinning allrounder for the future. If he has gone and left Zimbabwean Cricket, it'll be a shame
