Disgusting how teams are having to cancel tours because of lack of money and the ICC doesn't do a thing about it.

Zimbabwe ‘A’ playing two one dayers against Jersey national team in Yorkshire on 1st and 2nd of August
Only other confirmed fixture I know of is a match against Kent 2nd XI at Beckenham on 17th July.
Not sure if anything else is confirmed yet for this A/U25 tour.

There really should be a strict test home and away schedule.
Some allowances and tweaks, such as ashes etc at the expense of a 2nd tester against Zim or Ireland.
But this prizefight exhibitionism doesn’t make sense.

This is good. The Rising Stars programme had a lot of talent and I think 9 or 10 of them played at least one game for Zim. I hope it’s more of an ‘A’ squad than an emerging squad. Guys around the national team already like Gumbie, Evans, Welch Sr, Bennet, Myers and Campbell can use those matches to improve.
Re: 2023-2031 FTP news, updates, etc
It should be a proper ‘A’ side with guns like Roy Kaia keeping things steady. An emerging side would get pumped.
