Any update on Afghanistan series? I find recently Afghans have started avoiding Zimbabwe, they think of themselves as a big team and then when they get bashed up by the biggies brutally they come to Zimbabwe for fixtures.

I have no sympathy for Netherlands also, they keep avoiding Zimbabwe always, I don't know why.

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have been most supportive of Zim, even Ireland.

Afghanistan ODIs tentatively scheduled for the 8th, 11th and 13th December but still not confirmed - all gone quiet. Test very unlikely but potentially they are adding a couple of T20's - depends on funding and broadcast as usual.

There was talk of the Afghan U19's coming to play ours at the same time as well but I don't think thats happening now we’ve been drawn in the same WC group with them

Netherlands are touring south Africa for one day matches end of November. Why the hell can't they play zimbabwr across the border as well.
Seems a bit wrong

Not sure. They are pencilled in for April now. Probably better for us as their county players might not be available then!

Bro, cricket is no more a game of sympathy. Build a superior team, defeat top opposition, make your rate high that has been the order of cricket.

Zimbabwe has to increase their rate by winning games against top teams whenever they gets a chance

Yeah looks like a lot of international cricket happening across the world and we have no idea when we are playing next with early December just 2 weeks away. Historically we usually go into camp a full month before the tour, so we may not be playing anything till next year.
