Excellent news. Will be awesome to watch a full series between these two sides!

Is this the first 3-format series between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe?

A 5 wicket haul from Nyamhuri against Rwanda B and he'll be straight into our national side.
We're going backwards really quickly.

More of a development side than anything. No where near being an A side. Good for ZC to be mixing it up with other African countries. Good for the game.

I'm really curious about Dave Houghton. The season has started and he's not involved in anything and I'm assuming he's still employed?

That for me is the biggest warning signal that there's no real intent to turn the ship around. The guy is a wealth of knowledge...and influence. It's a huge alarm bell.

Dion should be bringing on Blessing right now.

These are the last two good batters and he will cause them problems. Bowl him out now.

ZC still has to keep players in the bank for the Netherlands A tour. It' would be better to have a proper Zim A for this tour to see how the fringe players can perform.

He will get stacks of wickets I'm sure. Namibia could not handle him so doubtful rwanda will.

I'm not saying he's shit, he's good.
I'm just pointing out that ZC are willing to fast track some and not others based on....
