I'm glad to see Evans in the roster.
He made a few appearances a couple of years ago then he disappeared because of injury.
Anyone has news if he is fully fit now?

Suggest listening to this podcast episode. I follow the poor blokes on Twitter, Frank is ripping them a new one for being white supremacists. Australians being misidentified as Rhodesians.

If BT is around this would be a good opportunity for him, ahead of Knackers. You're either a Zimbabwean or you aren't. When he gets his papers let him play.
These Zim A games are affiliated to ZC by virtue of being the national side A team. BT is banned until July unless it has been reduced on the quiet. That’s why I jokingly said in another thread that they should have called this team Union Hardware Select XI :lol: it would be a private work team with no affiliation to ZC hosting Canada and BT would be free to play.

As it stands, old knackers is more eligible to play.

Here's our best all format team

Bennett, Welch, Ballance, Taylor, Williams, Raza, Higgins, Welch (Jr) Evans, Mazarabani, Ngarava.

Bench- Ervine/knackers/MW

MW makes it ahead of Maru, Overlord, Mayavo, Madande as keeper. Untested but he's got the highest ceiling of those 3 as a batsman first but can keep. If Taylor could still keep then MW sits out for Ervine or Knackers.

The others pick themselves all day. This team wins some games!!! Not impossible to put together.
If only this could happen but quota will simply not allow it

Thanks for sharing. Can anyone shed light on what Evans was referring to when discussing setbacks and the interviewer, perhaps wisely, didn’t push him on it? Around the 22:00 mark

I'm sure his ongoing injuries?
He had a stress fracture in his leg, it was a really bad one, eventually came back from that and then tore a pectoral muscle.
I'm pretty sure he's lost his contract by now, so he's got a long road ahead of him.

He went into quite a bit of detail on his injuries. It seemed he was implying something a bit more nefarious, was curious if he has had any run-ins with the usual suspects at the top. Maybe I’m reading too much into his comments

Domestic bully like Marumani :lol: it’s still inexplicable how he couldn’t get a game in Australia or Pakistan
