Sri Lanka vs Zimbabwe | Tri Series | 25 Nov 2025 | Rawalpindi

[Mueddie28]

Now after zimbabwe stand knocked out, I think ZC might just show a little interest in getting atleast Sean Williams back for the 2026 T20 WC cuz at age 39, even ZC knows Taylor Ervine Raza Williams Cremer might not make it to the 2027 ODI WC. Reality is Craig is 40 atm & he is injured half of the time.. Williams will turn 40 next year with raza taylor cremer but the issue with williams is that he keeps on questioning the coaches.. he had problems with mangongo, rajput & ntini. Other than all this, I think Ervine should be recalled for the 2026 T20 WC , ervine is a lefty.. left right combo can disturb bowlers with their line & length.. if taylor is out of form & scoring run a ball, just get ervine to play in his place.. if Williams is somehow back , his left arm spin can prove to be useful in subcontinent. Pitches towards the end start to support spin a bit more, williams can be effective cuz he can take down any attack with his batting to support his bowling.. as far as ive seen him bowl, he slows it up a bit and his action from wide of the crease helps him to turn the ball more than wellington ever did. If williams plays, wellington doesnt go the world cup next year .. cremer is left as your only frontline spinner.. if cremer can help burl develop a good wrong un(AKA googly) before he retires, burl can play as a proper all-rounder like raza & williams. That would be enough to bench cremer & play someone like jongwe in his place. I still believe jongwe can smash bowlers at the death and if he can control his line & length, he can take one spot in the playing XI, definitely maposas. Muzarabani will obviously return, Ngarava/newman r your left arm seamer, evans is a fast bowling all-rounder, jongwe just might be the X factor in crunch games. If the pitch offers some turn, play cremer, against oppositions like aus & ire, if not, then play jongwe against SL & whoever the last team is in Zimbabwes group. Curran Naqvi Welch madande campbell can take spots in place of marumani myers taylor musekiwa munyonga. If Burl retains his form, a new look Zimbabwe playing XI with muzarabani ,jongwe ,ngarava, raza & naqvi as 5 players of color (if there is any quota system) team up with williams ,bennett , burl , evans ,welch/campbell ,ervine/taylor/madande.. damn.. this 11 can even give Aus a run down memory lane(2007 T20 WC)..

Taylor campbell ervine cremer sit on the bench.. pick anyone as a reserve.. madande hit a last ball 4 against ireland in 2023.. he & jongwe ripped apart sri lanka where ervine scored 70 in a t20i. Madande is their future white ball WK batsman if you ask me. Marumani has failed in the longer run.. no 50+ score in the AFG series & he failed in the tri series too.. PJ Moor went to Ireland & Chakabva decided to play club cricket down under in AUS.. so madande & tsiga r really the only ones left for WK duties.

From how I see ZC operate, Williams would be welcome back in the new year if he shows a little penance.

For all ZC's faults and pettiness, credit where credit is due, they are remarkably forgiving. One of two saving graces of this admin (the other being securing fixtures).

Imagine a lineup

Curran
Bennet
Welch
Raza
Burl
Wk Marumani or BT
NAQVi or Jongwe all rounder
Evans
Cremer or Welly
Ngarava
Blessing

Bench
Maposa
Musekiwa

Personally I can't watch a rigged game and support it. The FBi
should investigate everything. This is where I personally sign out
