No Regis should open next match.

Regis
Wes
Ervine
Taylor
Williams
Raza
Roy Kaia
Burl
Chivanga (worth a go)
Blessing
Nyauchi

It can be Wes or Shumba and it could be chivanga or Ngarava.

Not bad but no way Shumba should be opening the batting at test level... He's very uncomfortable against pace and bounce

To make Regis open after keeping for so many overs is bit harsh on him ..and that is why u never see keepers opening in test cricket ..even genuine white ball openers like Gilchrist came down in test ..same with s.a

I dropped Tripano

I know most people will disagree .. but I feel he leaks too many runs .. nd then gets one wicket ..nd in batting he scores 20,30 s ..

So he is neither a wicket taking bowler in tests nor a batsman ..

We need to go with either a proper batsman or a dependable bowler ..


Nd Chisoro nd Wellington Masakadza shouldn't be our spinners ..

Ndlovu ( consistent domestic season in all formats )
John Nyumbu ( such a good line nd length bowling in pro 50 )

I feel Malcolm Chikuwa is young spinner ( he should be given chance ..he is same breed like Wesley , Marumani )

Wrist spinners. ..( Brighton Chipungu should be developed ..nd Nyangani he is a Chinaman ..he is a must to develop .. Chinaman is a rarest bowler in cricket )

Well If we are batting first won't be a problem. Will naumann Ali be man of match or Abid Ali? Otherwise Regis could bat six and ervine could open. Maybe burl or Raza.

Burl is not a test match material ..


Instead Brighton Chipungu as a wrist spinner should be developed
