Where is Naqvi? Seeing the Muyeye hype train and I just don't understand why anyone would be against Naqvi playing for us. They are literally breaking all the rules for Muyeye to tick their diversity box
Please stop misleading people. There is no single rule/law that has been broken rule for Muyeye. He is playing because he is good enough to play at that level. They cannot fast-track him to England setup because rules are rules they are waiting till he becomes eligible.
The settled status eligibility they changed in March 2023 for non EU. Muyeye signed in May 2021.
Rules are rules
ECB are loose with the rules when it suits them.
His dad is Zanu and his mum was so active within MDC that she left in 2015 after threats. Where do you see such a genuine political split within a zim family?
I have seen it before, I know a couple of people that have manipulated this for getting family particularly into the states. If that was absolutely genuine there would be 14 million Zimbabweans living in Britain, but you need strong Zanu connections to achieve it
That Persona Non Grata letter on the Zanu PF letterhead is the golden ticket.
Hey good luck to the guy, It galls with me a little, more of a head shake, nothing more, you do what you gotta do, but we know it was engineered. He didnt have to get involved and was most certainly not threatened other than as a box tick for the application. I recall seeing his twitter posts that helped his application for refugee status.
He needs a decent season as he becomes eligible for his passport and he will get a shot. His current stats are not stand out by any stretch. They want/need a black batsman, for whatever their reasons. They need an Asian or two for the inclusivity box as well. The way England are headed atm that may all change dramatically. If it continues in the current trajectory there's huge trouble coming.
When he does play there will be big newspaper articles about him conquering all odds and the refugee thing, but the reality is that plenty of people have had it a lot tougher. He didnt paddle across the channel in a tractor tube. It just takes one person to cast some aspersions to a sympathetic outlet to cause some temporary embarrassment, not a deal breaker by any stretch.
The press will always be sympathetic.
All of Zim want a black guy to succeed over there, its the same for our black footballers in Premier league, we all enjoy seeing what a zimbo can do on the big stage. The hypocrisy however is when a white guy does it he's vilified by black Zimbos. Go Back To Britain. But when a black dude slides in there through a side door, thousands use the same loophole immediately. Always two sets of rules. Only about 10% of immigration officials manning the system there are actually white and the floodgates have been opened. I'm 1000% all for it, the British have a history of treachery towards white 'Colonialists' and we enjoy their current discomfort immensely, they're being colonized, it's beautiful. If I was there Id be based in Calais selling rubber dinghies and life jackets
White Rhodesians suffered more casualties per capita than any other nation in WW2. Read up on how many black Rhodesians also volunteered to go and die for Britain. Its extraordinary. The British political elite are a treacherous lot and have a lot to answer for. Bob was right- Blair toilet
Try get into Britain as white person who's descendants died in wars for Britain, ditto the Gurkas, but some sack head from Somalia can hide under a lorry and check into a 4 star hotel
You can join Taibu's church and get there on a Jesus visa and then go hide in Slough
, easier than paddling or gripping onto the chassis of a lorry.
