Sending 37 year old, semi-retired, Cephas on an A tour is genuinely hilarious. I laughed very hard upon reading this
Ya I don't see the value in this. Firstly the forecast says rain and more rain so that's a long way to go not to play.
Secondly A sides are to take a look at players that may one day make the step up. There are a couple of prospects that have been overlooked
This is why I'm against playing guys who can't clear the ropes in T20s, no matter who they are. Roy Kaia is a perfect example of that. Nudging... overthinking... the innings was built around him and that's the result. I feel the same about Ervine and Williams too. Against quality bowling they will struggle in T20s 6 times out of 10. Kaia isn't as good so he will struggle 8 times out of 10
Well Ervine should open in T20’s, absolutely. He needs time to settle. Ideally alongside someone explosive like Marumani.
Kaia shouldn’t be anywhere near a national team obviously

In terms of T20 openers are there any others even available though? Maybe Bright Phiri? Scraping the barrel really
Cephas Zhuwao getting picked in Playing XI for 1st Odi. Not a surprise, in every A series Zim selector do this type of selections Seems they done with Chibhabha, Maruma, Mpofu and now its time for Zhuwao
Zimbabwe doing well and Nepal getting brutally exposed in the longer formats, very much on expected lines.
Zimbabwe are a much better team in the longer formats as they focus more on List A and FC cricket in their domestics. Evans and Nyauchi doing well as expected and showing their worth.
I hope Evans gets selected for Afghanistan ODIs, even if it means replacing Jongwe.
Yes Evans looks like a far better bowler than Jongwe. It's a tough one. We have maybe 6 or 7 bowling options (Blessing, Ngarava, Chivanga, Evans, Chatara, Wellington, Jongwe). We provably only have space for 5.
