Unbelievable news!!
It could certainly delay one or two retirements.

Curious how the ECB (who should be non political) didn't like the Mugabe government but they're ok with the current one :lol:
The last couple of years has really shown that First World governments leave us in the dust for corruption :lol:
For once I agreed with Malema's response to that jumped up BBC reporter.

What a way to end their careers hey! 20 years since our last test series. Ironically Ervine was playing a list A game in Zimbabwe when the national side was on tour to England :lol:

Promising news, although I’ll believe it when I see it in an updated FTP and an announcement of tour dates. A one-off Test in England was in an FTP for 2019 which never materialised to anything.

Hopefully Williams and Ervine stick around and maybe even Gary Ballance might be encouraged to return?

While it is indeed great news, if the imminent retirees don't stick around, then we might be in for an ugly showing, with the next batch having not stepped up yet.

Wow that’s so good!

I took a moment to think of the last time Zimbabwe toured England. I was in my 2nd year of high school, that feels like a life time ago.

Let’s hope we still have a decent side to send over there, I’m not convinced the likes of Williams, Ervine & Raza will keep playing for a one off test, but maybe they will.
