Hey guys good news Terry Duffin is returning to Zimbabwe on the 31st of August to play for a franchise. It will be good to have an experienced cricketer back in the fold and he will be a good addition to the A side in the ICC Trophy as he is a very good 4 day player and you never know he may push the openers in the ODI side. He is just the kind of cricketer we need in our first class system :D

Also Gavin Ewing has been approached by a franchise but as far as i know he is still yet to decide weather to come back.

I am very pleased to hear that Terry Duffin is returning. He wasn't such a bad national team captain and I fondly remember his half century on test debut for Zimbabwe.

Good news. Terrence Duffin is a good player. I can also remember his half century in his test debut vs India, infact it was a good knock. He also played an innings of 88 vs SOU in a d/n ODI match. Yes, he can be a valuable opening batsman for the 'A' side especially in the longer format. He can certainly push for the national side in the tests also. His technique is very sound. Was in a great form as a skipper batsman for Winsley CC in England after quiting Zimbabwe.

Wish him a good luck !

Great news indeed.

I must say, though, that I'm more excited about the prospect of Ewing. With the proper leadership and structure I really think he could have gone on to become a world class player. Does anyone know where he's actually playing? I'm genuinely surprised he hasn't popped up in a First Class squad somewhere else.

He is playing as a professional/coach for Carrickfergus CC in Ireland. You can find further details about him in his club webiste, click here to see it.
