The only reason I left out Craig Ervine is because I didn't think anyone would consider him as an opener. Similarly, that's why I didn't include Chigumbura, Lamb or Chris Mpofu in this poll! Chibhabha and Coventry have at least opened the batting in ODIs in the past 12 months. Mawoyo if I'm not mistaken opened against New Zealand A and of course for his franchise, as does Ewing who has one of the highest First Class averages in Zimbabwe.

Ervine has to play, certainly, but he is no opener.
A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in international cricket. - Cricinfo.
