What is the difference between Zim A & Zim XI?

[bayhaus]

Here are my thoughts:
Zim XI= (Our best XI, BUT unofficial international.)
Board XI = ? (selected by the ZC board at their AGM?)
Presidents XI = ? (the presidents favourite players?)
Zim A = ? (Rookies knocking on the door to Int Cricket?)
Somebody please clarify

Zim XI= (Our best XI, BUT unofficial international.)

The best of the 'A' side, plus those in the senior side who need to prove they're worth their place.

Board XI = ? (selected by the ZC board at their AGM?)

"Representative" side for traditional tour openers. Whoever they feel like giving a chance to, opportunity for the wildcards to maybe make a name for themselves against decent opposition.

Presidents XI = ? (the presidents favourite players?)

What they used to call the Board XI. The name will, I'll bet, not appear again for as long as Mugabe is president.

Zim A = ? (Rookies knocking on the door to Int Cricket?)

The Zimbabwe Second XI

The should have a side called Bobby M's Eleven Cadres.
