Zimbabwe vs England | Only Test | 22 - 25th May 2025

I’ll do the honours. Strong line-up for England. Expect Zim to go with an 8-3 line up to aim for the draw; English weather might help there!

suited up

Whats a Zimbabwean team without the selectors throwing in a shock selection. 3 seamers (Nyauchi, Ngarava, Muza) plus the spin Options (Raza, Bennet, Wessy). Its a pity Willaims is having troubles with his back. We could have used him as a spin option.

[Flakeman]

I have a rather harrowing feeling they might not pick Raza, but I suppose he’d have made 100% sure of that before flying there from the PSL? Here’s hoping.

No doubt one of Ervine, Williams, or Raza will withdraw in the morning with a last minute injury.

I'm looking forward to the crowd XI we could make of Zim players watching or with Zim origin.

[Flakeman]

Haha sure there’ll be loads of our lads in attendance, the lineup

1. Curran
2. Bennett
3. Welch
4. Ervine
5. Williams
6. Raza
7. Wess
8. Tsiga
9. Richie
10. Blessing
11. Nyauchi

[Mr Twig]

Cricinfo are suggesting 8-3 with Madande at 8..

I don’t think it can be understated just how important this game is. No time for experimentation or vibes. The best 11 and we need Raza

If this is the approach, then we need the more informed batsman. Tsiga would have to be the keeper.
