Looks like the youth policy is on. Brandon Mavuta, Richard Ngarava and Ryan Murray are part of the 16 man Zim A squad that will be finalized after a fitness test according to this report: http://www.chronicle.co.zw/mankad-victim-in-zim-a/

This Zim A will take on Afg A. It also has Tendai Maruma, Neville Madziva, Tapiwa Mufudza, Victor Nyauchi, Prince Masvaure, Carl Mumba and Tendai Chatara among others. No clarity on the full bunch of 16.

Nitpicking, but I'm not sure how Ngarava got ahead of Mashinge in the pecking order.

Is Burl still injured?

Good moves. Was Ngarava the tall dude that was clocking 140+ in Bangladesh? Good to see Murray in there. Hope Burl also gets in when the full squad is released. Musakanda should have been picked. The young guys need as much time out in the middle as possible. Good to see Mumba in the squad as well.

love the title "mankad victim in Zim A"

good move if this is true but there will always be a nyumbu or sibanda in the final squad because that's just the way these guys operate. I'm sure musakanda will be part of the final squad. Matigimu was the one bowling quick at the world cup not Ngarava. he should have finished school now. don't know what he is up to

Streak & Taibu doing well in selecting youths, they should be promoted more.

Would have loved to see inclusion of Matigamu, Madhevere, Ives & Mashingwe



Their next big job is to hand over forced retirement to old horses l Elton Chigumburra, Vusi Sibanda, Chamu Chibhabha, Boby Mpofu, Tino Mowayo so that could'nt become a big stone to climb for the youths. They have a lot and their career looks as among the rubbish players who have represrnted Zimbabwe

Not hearing much about the confirmation of the squad, hope all these guys listed are in, along with Mashinge, Chivanga and Musakanda, and may be, just may be, TJS :)

Based on Burl's recent tweets, he has started batting in the nets. He would be a very good addition to ZIm A squad.

Why not make Zim A squad an Under 25 squad & 1 or 2 guys over U25 regain fitness or so impressive in domestic league that needs a second look

Some of the Players wanting a stint at the Taibu Academy may be up for selection for the Zim A squad, what then?
It's getting confusing- Zim A, Zim Academy, Logan A and B, ZPL, presumably there's the ordinary club cricket as well.
ZC are scrambling trying to make it look like shit is happening when in reality there's not much going on at all. They're under the pump from the ICC, will they buy into the bullshit is the $20 million dollar question.

From that Logan B sham I'd like to see how many games had been played by each of those players in the last two years.
