Will be really interesting to see who is picked here. Who is considered the next cabs off the rank, and the highest rated young prospects.

Will also be interesting who plays in the domestic fixtures, with the national team and A-team both unavailable!!

Agree with Newman playing this, he's been thrusted into the main team with too little experience. I hope he proves me wrong in this IRE series but I think he'd benefit more playing for the A side a bit.

It will be good if N Welch, Antum Naqvi, Myers, Munyonga, Mavuta and may be even Jono Campbell could be a part of this. Nyamhuri could well be in there as well.

Old winstonians getting a few fixtures ruffling feathers better hope it doesn’t rain

The national T20 side has a lot of the kids already so I'm expecting a few guys who don't get opportunities to play here. It's a good opportunity for the likes of Chiorah, Masekesa, Frost, the Welch brothers, Campbell Junior, Chataira, Falao and Naqvi to get some games. Is Naqvi allowed to play for the 'A' team?

Also an opportunity for Madande and Evans to play after their injuries. Ben isn't in the T20 side so he can play the one day games there too

naqvi has valid documents now?

Burl is out of favor as well. They could pick a very strong legit A side here.
Wonder what Higgins is thinking?

1. Welch Jr,
2. Welch Snr,
3. Knackers,
4. Higgins,
5. Burl,
7. Bawa,
8. Munyonga/Myers
9. Evans,
10. Masekesa//Mavuta
11.Nyauchi
12. Chatara.

I've left out Maruma, Campbell Jr, Frost, Chitaira, Macheka etc etc

You'd have to fiddle with the right balance. This is a really strong line-up!!

In fact I'd put money this team is beating our national side in a series in any format.

We've legit got at least another dozen players that are like for like.

I've left BT out of this line-up.
Just gets stronger and stronger.
Could stick Ballance in there, he's looking fit, strong and refreshed.
