Yeah, no matter what we say about Mukhulani, whenever I've read his inelterviews I've found him to speak the right things. Wheather he implements the same in ZC is a different story but he sure knows how to maintain his image and always aspires for big roles.
Can’t really fault the board since the suspension, they’ve gotten the debt wiped, secured a regular flow of fixtures (we always want more) and seem to have mended the relationships with senior players.

Yes to an extent, still so much more to do though. Still don’t trust them!

Starting to think we might see the Netherlands & Pakistan series merged into a tri series?

Both scheduled around the same time, and TM mentioned that they’d look to host an annual tri series around the time of IPL with Pakistan and other nations without much IPL representation

Just a thought

Don't think so, they've got a couple of tri series in the FTP involving teams like Pakistan and New Zealand but not scheduled for next month.

The Netherlands series is a Super League series so no it won’t be merged into a tri-series.

Does it even matter? Teams are cancelling Super league games left right & centre

Seems the context has really died off

Anyways it was just me connecting dots

Just me doing some more random thinking, Zimbabwe might be inline to break some type of crazy record for most ever ODIs played in a year if all goes to plan

3 v Ireland - completed
3 v Netherlands - scheduled
3 v Pakistan - probable
3 v Namibia - possible
4 v CWCQ Group Stage - scheduled
3 v CWCQ Super 6s - probable
1 v CWCQ Final - possible
9 v CWC Group Stages - possible
3 v Afghanistan - scheduled
3 v Ireland - scheduled

3 x Completed
13 x scheduled
6 x probable
13 x possible

35 ODIs total

That seems like a hell of a lot of games for one year

Tino Mawoyo just said that the Netherlands series will be played at Harare on March 21st, 23rd & 25th

So that rules out my idea of a tri series with Pakistan and also means the series is scheduled earlier than expected, it was originally slotted at the end of April.

This also means Raza will be available for selection as the final of the PSL is on the 20th of March.

If Lahore make the final, you’d think he’d miss the 1st ODI but he’s be back in time for the final two matches.

Unless of course Dave takes this opportunity to try someone different in the middle order.
