I'm not sure if I want to see tiripano and jongwe bowling together again particularly as you have dion myers waiting in the wings who adds batting prowess with that knack of picking up wickets.

I think we may have a very strong line up for the test match if the big 4 come to the party.
Myers
Kasuza
Ervine
Taylor
Raza
Williams
Chakabva wk
Shumba
Tiripano/Ngarava
Blessing
Chatara

The selectors have a good headache deciding who plays between Jongwe,Nyauchi, Chingava,Ngarava.

I would give Kasuza a chance only because I think Prince scores too slow.

I am conflicted between Musakanda and Shumba only because Musakanda is a brilliant fielder, he looked suspect LBW in the last test match and he looks like he has hit his ceiling, he has not improved much since his debut In Srilanka.

Shumba is very promising and can play with the tail and offer us a spin bowling option.

I am worried about Chatara playing a test match because I don’t think he is still as fit as he was before, to be safe I would rather have Nyauchi.

With Raza and Williams getting more wickets than our full time spinners I don’t see the need to pick a specialist spinner, Bangladesh are better players of spin anyways.

We are better of picking a extra batter .

Once again I think we are spoiled for choices when it comes to the seamers.

I won’t mind Nyauchi for Chatara

Zimbabwe bowling will look threatening only if the pitch provides some swing & seam movement, else it will be the same old story.

Myers
Kasuza (last chance)
Ervine
Taylor
Williams
Shumba
Chakabva
Muzarabani
Nyauchi
Chatara
Ngarava

Tempted to add DT, but honestly 7 batsmen are enough. We need those relentless spells of fast bowling from our best fast bowlers. If we cannot produce a quality spin bowler, rather have a better pacer instead.

I don't think Chatara is that bowler who can do 20 overs a day anymore. I would be concerned about him being in the test line up. What about easing him in and just playing ODI for now.
