Time for the franchise season to start - with the Pro50 up first. Fixtures every Friday & Sunday for the next 5 weekends, played around the country.

The first round this weekend is Eagles vs Rocks at Takashinga, and Mountaineers vs Rhinos at Mutare.

With the national team off to Namibia (and then the actual qualifiers a couple of weeks later) it seems that the national squad will miss the entire tournament. Hopefully a few of the overseas will arrive soon to strengthen things.

Mountaineers are the double-defending champions having won the last couple of editions.

Will the Pakistani fast bowlers participate?

Playing XIs out?

Schadendorf has moved to Mountaineers. PJ is also playing for them which I find surprising.

Alex Russell and Romario Roach?? At Eagles

Johnathan Campbell has been signed by Rocks.
They’ve also picked up Mufandauya who did well in the NPL

Real test of Musekiwa this tournament. Doing it at NPL level is all well and good but the franchise stuff gives a better idea of how good he is.

That must have been a last second switch?
He and Frost were not in the starting line up at Rocks originally. Not sure where Frost is now.

It’s Dane at Mountaineers. Maybe Jayden is still at Rocks? But not playing today anyway. Neither is Frost.
