Guys FFS post about the new fixtures here, not on that old thread.

India - Zimbabwe 3 ODIs confirmed for start of January 2027. Got the second game at my hometown, would look to see the boys in action.

Zim A tour to Bangladesh - June
West Indies A tour to Zimbabwe - July
Zim A tour to South Africa - August
Ireland A tour Zimbabwe- TBA

Good to have some busy A-side schedules listed, just needs a confirmation.
Zimbabwe Acacdemy will also be travelling to SA on April. They'll be facing Titans and Namibia A.
Series outside of Zimbabwe is more rare than having those A series itself, so that's big one.

Won't benefit much if they select all those crap players for the A tours and series'. Ill be happy if they select the squads on merit.

What's the status on Naqvi? Have they given up on him?

What's the status on Naqvi? Have they given up on him?

That would be the other way round, no?

He is the one who has to meet various criteria in order to play. For once ZC can’t be blamed for something

Hopefully Musekiwa, Munyonga, Welch, Maposa and Innocent Kaia get game time..

ZC don't need to worry much on Antum's expense, rich man Mr. Naqvi got it all covered

Bowlers:
A Falao, T Chataira, T Gwandu, E Masuku, W Masakadza, V Masekesa, K Matigimu, N Nyamhuri.
Batsmen M Campbell, B Curran, T Musakanda, T Munyonga, T Musekiwa, D Myers ,I Kaia, T Kamumhukamwe, N Welch.
Allrounders: J Campbell, V Chirwa, L Jongwe, A Naqvi, Frost brothers
Wicketkeepers:
V Changa, C Madande, T Marumani, N Mayavo, P Taruvinga, T Tsiga.
That would be the players I'd have for the A-side.
Not sure about M Frost and A Naqvi being in the side, if they're ever going to represent ZC. Although Naqvi is more eager compared Mike Frost but they're not eligiblei n their own ways. Kudzai Maunze has had good numbers in this season but he's going to be 35 in few weeks and never played any international games. Don't know how much his experience will effect the dressing room compared other guys, who had some international experience. Young guys like Taruvinga and Changa might be too early to join A-side but they should be in the academy squad playing against Titans and Namibia A.

Is this in addition to the rumour of India touring Zimbabwe for T20s? Anyway that’s great news and a tour that was probably created on the back of our decent performance at the World Cup.

Why is Frost not eligible
