Addressing the team’s captain, Hamilton Masakadza and the team, Zimbabwe Cricket president Tawengwa Mukuhlani warned the players that his association would not entertain any excuses for a poor performance at the global sporting festival.
“Hamilton and your boys. Time has now come. You are like any other team in terms of talent. So there cannot be any excuses for failure. Go out there and bring home that silverware,” said Mukuhlani.
The country’s Sport and Recreation Minister Makhosini Hlongwane echoed the warning, telling players that their followers will not take lightly any failure on the part of the Chevrons.
“I would like the team to appreciate that the whole of Zimbabwe is behind them,” assured Hlongwane. “There would not be serious and concerned fans if they do not express their displeasure should Zimbabwe fail.”
It appears that chamu is travelling with the squad too..is he replacing someone? Or is it justs zim's customary method of having 16 players in the squad..?
Zimbabwe has been accepting failure for decades in all facets of society, why should cricket be any different?

“I really needed that time out and right now, I enjoy the game better than ever before. Things have really moved quite quickly since I came back into cricket. All I wanted was to re-establish myself as the best bowler in Zimbabwe and already, I am among the best in the world,” said the 29-year-old player who has snared 32 wickets in 24 T20 matches.

Good on him. Why hide what you are. He's number 5 in the T20 bowling listings, higher than a lot of quality bowlers around. Good on him for stating that; at least in Cremer we have a genuine, world class bowling threat at our disposal
