With Gary Ballance scoring a ton, maybe his absence from the 'A' squad is the most telling. Is he playing for the Rhino's as an overseas player? To return to Yorkshire for next summer?

I would have thought so. No one has actually given up a county contract to return to Zim yet, so I'd be surprised if Ballance is the first.

It's really bad from Gary Ballance. All is now well with Zimbabwean Cricket, he should give it a chance.

Possibly, but he has now been based in England for 5 years, and playing for Yorkshire would be a lot more lucrative, unless he was a national team regular.

It's no different from Penny and Curran in the 90's

I'm sure Curran was playing county cricket long before Zim got test status.

As Ballance was playing county cricket well before Zim's return to Test Cricket
