I have a feeling that we will have a very strong squad selection for BD series. Looks like the big 4 and the young 4 will all make it. We also have Chatara, Jongwe, Chisoro on the mix. If BT can keep in the shorter formats, we might have a balanced squad and should be looking for a series win. I’m fine with Chakava and Musakanda’s selections, but worried about Chibahbha and Mutumbami joining back. We will win the test match if we can have all our 4 senior players plus fit Chatara.

ODI/T-20

Wesley
Marumani
Ervine
Myers
BT(wk)
Williams
Raza
Jongwe/Shumba/Chisoro
Chatara
Blessing
Ngarva

Having the two youngsters open is a bad idea, I think they need tp be paired with experience. Taylor has to open im shorter format to xapitalize on powerplays. Theres no place for a specialist spinner in the Chevrons in any format. The four "part-time" spinners (Willo, Raza, Wesley and Burl) we have are way better than the specialists. Jongwe is a definitely a MUST for all short formats

Yes ZC is hiding update on Burl. He has been punished by getting dropped from Unofficial A series against South Africa A and is being spread in media as finger injury.

ZC has the history of behaving like autocratic, was once forcefully asked Streak to praise black players

why he is not playing these matches? He wasn’t included in A series matches also.

Man if Burl really got punished for hooking up a deal for shoes for the whole team which ZC couldn't do....disgusting. Not surprising but disappointing af.

I agree Taylor should open in t-20, but in the last series Wesley and Marumani did pretty well. In ODIs Taylor might not open and Selectors have always tested with Chibabaha, Kamu etc. With new guys-Wesley, Muskanda etc at the top, the team dynamics look a lot different as they score runs at a good pace. We always seem to win more when we choose guys on merit. It’s always that 1-2 off batting selections that messes up the balance and we lose. For e.g we replace Ervine with Chari
