I see Ben Curran is getting quite a lot of coverage about "coming home," as if he hasn't been here for the last few years.
I'm wondering what that's about.
Maybe Salamander is going to think it's his first time
Yes, this annoyed me greatly. Several ‘in the know’ social media people saying he’s suddenly ‘made himself available for Zimbabwe’.
He’s been available since he left Northants two years ago and he got his passport about 18 months ago.
As ever - ZCF a better source of up to date info than the random social media people.

As always I smell a gonzo. Always some skullduggery going on behind the scenes here.

Milton Shumba is playing in Australia this winter rather than playing in the domestic comps.

How on earth is he doing that? I had thought Zimbos, SAs and Indians going over there on a 408 visa wasnt a thing anymore as of last year. I know quite a few affected by the rule

Innocent Kaia also playing in Australia this summer. Clearly he has accepted that his Zim career is over.
Houghton always really rated him.

He’s played in Aus a number of seasons.
Another one not in favour with the selectors. I rate him, massively, in the longer formats. Biased selection as usual.

The only biased selection is literally Raza’s inclusion of Faraz. You telling me old Raz Dawg would be picking Faraz for his 58mph filth if he was an infidel? I think not
Sure Wez and Marumani have had like six billion chances, that’s blind faith and stubbornness from ZC, hoping they’ll come good one day rather than outright bias.
