Why is Frost not eligible

Available is a better word in their case, Mike did state he's not sure if he'll play for Zimbabwe. Unlike Alistair who made himself available.

India - Zimbabwe 3 ODIs confirmed for start of January 2027. Got the second game at my hometown, would look to see the boys in action.

Is this in addition to the rumour of India touring Zimbabwe for T20s? Anyway that’s great news and a tour that was probably created on the back of our decent performance at the World Cup.

Yes this is India's home schedule which is confirmed. I'm not sure what is Zimbabwe's home schedule for this year. I suspect it is not as good as it was last year though.

The A team will touring Bangladesh July
South Africa and Ireland A may be touring at some point.

The academy will be touring South Africa at some point

The high performance run by Houghton will be touring England again.

I believe the academy and high performance are seperate sides.
