ZIMBABWE T20I SQUAD:

Sikandar Raza (Captain), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Johnathan Campbell, Trevor Gwandu, Wessly Madhevere, Tinotenda Maposa, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Nyasha Mayavo, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri.

Myers dropped from all bar the T20. Sad, but I guess he is way out of form.

Not too bad actually. Newman or Nyauchi is going to be interesting. Really interesting. Overall I think there is enough to work with and a chance for Welch and Campbell to show us what they can do. I'm also happy to see Munyonga back plus Musekiwa and Maphosa.

The famed 3 person quota system is guaranteed to be broken in less than 2 weeks. Especially with Raza not there. Never been a thing in my opinion anyway.

My maybe unpopular opinion would he to pick Newman, simply because I think it might be something the Irish won't expect. Nyauchi is the kind of bowler they are used to as good as he is. Almost like how Chivanga was just something different

No sacred cows. I don't mind this at all. Gumbie also dropped from the ODIs

Would prefer Kaitano than Gumbie, but the only one who could actually replace him is Mayavo.

There's absolutely no chance they'll select that test line up. I'll be really surprised if Welch gets selected to play ahead of Kaitano.

He is the incumbent.

I'd keep Kaitano at 3, and leave out Campbell. Harsh on him, as he was already in the squad, but I think Welch is better player than he is.
