Assuming those in England are able to come back on the next flight, and Sean Williams is available:

1. Vusi Sibanda
2. Brendan Taylor (wk)
3. Sean Williams
4. Tatenda Taibu
5. Chamu Chibhabha
6. Hamilton Masakadza
7. Elton Chigumbura
8. Prosper Utseya (c)
9. Ray Price
10. Tawanda Mupariwa
11. Christopher Mpofu

I'd have Regis Chakabva (followed by Dabengwa) as the backup batsman and Graeme Cremer as the backup spinner. With Gary Brent retiring, we have real problems in the seam-up department. Ed Rainsford has fallen out of favour, and didn't do much in the Logan Cup. Keegan Meth isn't really ready to play more international games. Muzarabani didn't do a lot in South Africa. Probably the uncapped Shingirai Masakadza would be the best choice.
