567. While digging for the 35+ international squash player Vaghmaria I chanced upon this former domestic FC player, now a respected coach in a different country. Who is he?

That is Dilan Raj, recently appointed as Manawatu's Director of Cricket. I was in fact born in Palmerston North which is in the Manawatu province! I wonder how he came to represent Matabeleland in 1997/98?

Absolutely correct! I'd never heard of this guy until an hour ago. He was born in Colombo, but God knows how he made his way to Zim. He's been in NZ for at least 15 years: https://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standa ... of-cricket

Wow! I saw this pic and thought why are we featuring Aravinda de Silva! Shares an uncanny resemblance with him. Never realized an SL born player played in the Zim domestic competitions...

Great effort eugene and foreignfield with the last two questions!

568. Here's an addition from my end, after ages... Who is this former FC player, who happens to be not the most well known cricketing name to come out of his household?

Rory Ervine?

[CrimsonAvenger]

Nope! Not senior Ervine.

Looks a lot like Sean Williams: Is it his dad, Sean Collin Williams?

Yes, that's correct! Played a few matches for Transvaal with not much to speak about. Stuart Carlisle looks very much like him.
