Zimbabweans In Franchise League

Raza becoming more reliable with the ball rather than the bat, out for 2 but 2/14 off two overs bowling

Raza seems like a guy who's all feast or famine.

Big game for Raza 29-1 off his 4 overs and an u beaten 56 to lead them to victory

Jeez I actually didn't realise just how low key and potentially low quality that tournament is.

That scorecard - a 38 year old semi-retired Indian, a 40-year old Indian I haven't heard from for about 10 years, some UAE players, Irishmen, a couple of Scots, a couple of Dutch, a Zimbabwean and a few County players I barely recognise. Raza is really missing Test cricket for THIS?!

Considering the greater success of the SA20 at the same time with basically the same owners, I'll be very surprised if they bother with this ILT20 thing ever again.

Just realised as well, the PSL will overlap with the Netherlands series according to the FTP which shows the Dutch touring Zimbabwe in the third week of March.

I assume this means Raza will again be missing for Zimbabwe, although this series I guess isn’t as important as playing full member, this would be the 3rd series Raza has missed for franchise cricket.

With the IPL coming in April - May, you’d think that will clash with any ad-hock series Zimbabwe will organise in preparation for the CWCQ. So my question is, will we see Raza play for Zimbabwe again before the CWCQ?

I guess the only positive is that it provides the opportunity to try different players and continue to caps under the belts of the bench strength guys.

Burl gets a golden duck and doesn't bowl as his team get eliminated in the BPL.

[secretzimbo]

Dutch series is going to be in April I believe Jay.

[pillowprocter]

Iconic one-handed six by Raza in his first PSL match.

[jaybro]

Dutch series is going to be in April I believe Jay.

Ok, we’ll he’ll still miss it for the IPL

Makes you think it was even more ridiculous they let him skip the test series

Nah, Burl's team is looking on track to win the Final. Burl has done quite well this season, every time I checked the scorecard of Sylhet's games Burl was striking at 200. A rare failure today in the final.
