But why? All the seniors are playing well and are in the line up. They looked in good spirits the other day.

....Of a player revolt. Potentially a couple of players confirming their international retirements on Monday after the game - likely Williams & RAza. I don't know where that leaves Brendan. Sense Monday could be the end of an era.

Might be bullshit (and I really pray its bullshit) but quite a few murmurs about it in Zimbabwe tonight.
Raza has said he will be making an announcement.

Rajput and the Chairman of Selectors are the issue.

Imagine the damage this is doing to the kids.. I wonder how they actually feel about the whole situation. On paper as much as we might not agree with the methods, the tour has gone well so far. I honestly don't think this is an issue worth a revolt.

Yes the new world order for cricket is T20s. Wesley is a good guide to this because he has already played 18 T20s compared to 11 ODIs. The senior players are probably looking at the fixture list and thinking we don't have that many games.

Quitting just isn't the best solution at that age for me . You will never come back

Interesting that the two hot heads are making all the noise. BT and Craig are smart, they know they can hang on for another year or so and pick up some good retirement money. Both their families are based in Zim and they won't move so overseas is not an option. Raza has options but not sure Williams has too many.

Ervine doesn't sound like he is on the same wave length. He is even talking about experimenting against Scotland. He might actually be the kind of captain they have been looking for :lol: always gives measured responses

To be honest they should just have the BT approach. He stopped caring a long time ago. Every time he goes out there he is looking to enjoy and attack. He knows its easy money. Have a good day then suddenly you also pick up extra money in the Sri Lankan T20 league like BT for example. Never underestimate the value of international exposure.

No matter of multiple retirement of seniors , at present there is many talented option for Zimbabwe, should build new team keeping in mind upcomming ICC Events

B Taylor - Adam Kafi / Ryan Murray

S Williams - Jimmy Ives

C Ervine - Wesley Snyder

S Raza - Walter Huchu / Liom Roche

C Mpofu - Kevin Bowie who bowls at 145 + kph

K Jarvis - Brad Evans

C Chibhabha - Steve Marillier

Many more are waiting like Celum Price, Bryan Diplock, Kiran Motigamu, Bryan Curran, Greig Dollar, Akshay Patel, Brian Sly, Jack Colonny, Michael Frost,Givemore Makoni, Trent Harrisimons, Liam Oldkock. Also chance of snatching Greg Ballance, Ryan Higgins, Abraham Rose
