Kaitano and Wes will definitely be in the starting XI for that first Test in Sylhet. Here's the most probable XI:

Curran
Kaitano
N. Welch
Ervine
Williams
Madhevere
Bennett
Tsiga (wk)
Wasakadza
Ngarava
Muzarabani

Gwandu and Newman having a bad innings with the ball at the same time. Both Gwandu and Nyamhuri have had more bad innings than good. They are not there yet imo. Crazy how Brad Evans isn't even a part of the conversation for test selection. I agree with this. Can’t afford to get the balance wrong ag...

Another way of looking at it is that some of the younger guys might be better off facing Scotland who will also be tough to beat than sitting on the bench against Bangladesh. If we look at it that way then I think Matigimu and Tsiga will be the only new inclusions.

Yep agreed.

Has Prince given up on opening entirely? From memory, he was pretty good up top.

Mavayo seems to be putting up his hat for selection for the England test. Certainly done enough to be going the Bangladesh for now. Not to sound like I am taking a dump on Mayavo, but surely there are better options. He's in his 30s now and averages 26 in the Logan Cup after 80-odd matches. Shouldn...

Call me crazy, but I wouldn't complain if they found a spot for Timycen Maruma somewhere in that lineup. The guy has scored some runs in Logan Cup and that should count for something. I don't get this love fest for Maruma. Ok, he is scoring runs in the domestic game, but we've already gathered that...

Sick and fucking tired of a bunch of Indians advocating for this bloke purely because he's white, without any consideration as to whether he will fit in with the team or his stats to back it. WHO SOLVES OUR ISSUES?!

A bunch of Indians hey?

Strange looking batting card for Zimbabwe. The top 3 getting the job done for once. Phenomenal innings from BC!
