I hope Zimbabwe selects a full strength team for the A-team tri series. Our top players need all the exposure they can get. No point mucking around with 'A-team' players who will never make the full side anyway.

Does anyone know if the A-team series will be televised? I assume they won't be.

Or at least select a largely full strength side. Clearly this is an opportunity to have a look at a few youngsters (Chatara!), but as you say, the first team are still vastly short of exposure against teams of that standard.

And no, I can't see that it will be televised. The tests will though, that should be good.

I'm guessing that first SA game is meant to be 23rd September.

What an impressively full calendar! The national team players aren't going to play a single game for their franchises in the first half of next season...

Also, I think ZC should think seriously about trying to get Mutare, Kwekwe and Masvingo up to standard for ODI cricket. It would be a big boost to the local cricket if they were able to host even an occasional ODI, even lesser profile games, such as Ireland or Kenya.
