Zimbabwe after Test series going to play 3 match Odi & T20 Series in Bangladesh.As per odis are concerned, it will be the last billateral odi series for both the teams as odis from next series for both the teams will fall under ICC ODI Championship. With Chamu Chibhabha appointed as captain of the shorter formats, it will be interesting to see how many domestic cricket performers and U19 talents gets picked.


Can Ryan Burl, Peter Moor and in form Luke Jongwe make a come back ?

15 member squad want to see for odis


1)C Chibhabha 2) R Burl 3) B Taylor 4) C Ervine 5) S Raza 6) S Williams 7) P Moor 8) B Mavuta 9) L Jongwe 10)C Mumba 11) D Jakiel

Extra : 12)N Madziva 13) T Chisoro 14)R Mutumbami 15)R Ngarava


T20s

1)C Chibhabha 2) W Madhevere 3) S Raza 4) S Williams 5) P Moor 6) R Burl 7) L Jongwe 8) B Mavuta 9)N Madziva10) K Macheka ( has raw pace mentioned by Jarvis) 11) D Jakiel

Extra : 12) T Kamhukunkamwe 13) R Mutumbami 14) J Campbell 15)W Mashinge

Zimbabwe ODI/T20I squad:


Chamu Chibhabha (captain), Sikandar Raza Butt, Craig Ervine, Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, Wesley Madhevere, Timycen Maruma, Christopher Mpofu, Carl Mumba, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Richmond Mutumbami (wicketkeeper), Ainsley Ndlovu, Brendan Taylor, Donald Tiripano, Charlton Tshuma, Sean Williams

Great to see as expected Madhevere.


No Luke Jongwe, Peter Moor, Burl, Madziva, Mavuta, Mashinge... right arm fastest spin bowler overrated Tiripano again selected along with terrible Mutombodzi & Maruma

Lots of celebration of friendship in this odi & t20 selection

Madhevere k long and mutunbami are good additions and obviously deserving.
Obviously Williams goes without saying.
Not sold on ndlovu to be fair. Mavuta would have been much better.
Maruma no comment

What's the best line-up we can field here? Multiple combinations possible

This would be my first ODI team if it's a surface that assists spin.

Chamu (by default)
Kamunhukamwe
Ervine
BT
Williams
Raza
Mutumbami (wk)
Mutombodzi
Wes
Mumba
Mpofu

Would take Tshuma for Mutombodzi if there is something for the fast bowlers.

It's a shame Chamu has to be picked as there could have been space for Wes uptop and Mudzinganyama in the squad.

Someone balance me here. Does being team captain mean you cant be dropped for the side. Me I think not. If Chamu does not come through then surely he has to be dropped. But looking around whose else would open. The selectors missed a trick here. If the opening partnership of Chibhabha and Kamunhukamwe does not fire we are in a heap of trouble. There was not point to keeping someone like Maruma in the side ahead of even Masvaure who would then provide cover for the openers.

I just want to say Fu*k of zim selecters for the selection of failures(maruma,chamu,tripano,mutumbodzi).and Not selecting players like jongwe,madziva,chisaro,mashinge

That interview he did sounded like somebody who will be playing every game also when the selection committee meets the captain is present. He can't exactly drop himself.

There are multiple opening options. BT Wes Mutumbami Chamu Kamunhukamwe.

As much as I'm not a fan of Maruma, this is probably his 2nd strongest format with T20s being the strongest. He can accelerate. Prince and Kasuza are better suited for the longer formats.

A Ndolovu - Doesnt have any variation to trouble batsman

D Tiripano - At present one of the biggest overrated allrounders, bowls at 120-125 kph, batting simply looks like tailender

C Mpofu - His time is already already over

C Thsuma - Needs time
