Nah, if they were ODIs we would have sent nearly our first XI with may be a couple of experiments. These must be List A matches, however. It is not worth the trip if they are not.

Although the fact that the scorecard still seems to not have surfaced suggests that they might not be. Which is very silly.

Stop getting in the way of the free spending Pakistani. After all he was sent there to officially thoroughly bankrupt and kill ZC beyond recognition.

Full Strength UAE Side got relegated to Division 2 after ending in bottom at the 2015-17 ICC World Cricket League, now they have to play 6 teams division 2 league in Namibia in 2018, where 2 table toppers will be playing as 9th & 10th team in ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2018 in Zinbabwe.

Zimbabwe A side with few of them having international experience are losing to a relegeted UAE Side, its clearly show team is packed with bunch of loosers, who doesn't have talents to play international cricket.

UAE is that team, who has never taken the game seriously, they have received associate status back in 1990, and playing associate level cricket from long time. UAE is a combined team of India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka, where players take cricket as a part time sports.

UAE Cricket prefers to do business by building world class facilities in their cricket stadiums, and earn money in hosting international games of Pakistan & Afghanistan and popular t20 tournaments of middle east and also few popular tournaments of counties of UK, then playing the game seriously. Loosing against such opposition is terrible.

Why fastest bowlers like Mark Olonga, Danel Jakiel and Blessing Muzarabani not groomed in these sort of tours

That these are the players who are supposedly meant to be pushing for national team spots and losing these kind of games says a hell of a lot.

I can't pick the tone here. Are you being sarcastic? I thought from your posts recently that you were hopeful of Zim being rid of colonials and roaring along like Haiti or DRC.
