My information on the exclusion of Sean Williams is that he is taking a break from cricket at the moment but will be back in time for the franchise season for another crack at the national side.

Reason being that after so many injurys which has taken a big emntal blow to himself in the last two years. He wants a couple of months away from the game but will be back in September.

No Malcolm Waller, Gavin Ewing, Timmy Maurma, Stuart Matsikenyeri or Keith Dawbengwa though!!!

Really pleased to see Brian Vitori in there as thought he had a really good season last year and is only 21 and deserves to be in the reckoning.

Looks the Raza has done all his paperwork, looking forward to seeing him and Taylor at the top of the order

No Matsi !!!!

Surely for his experience, and mentoring, the legendary Stuart Matsikenyeri should be there.

Okay he is not in the best 11. But his experience would help,

No Malcolm Waller !!!!

I really hope Forster Mutizwa makes the best of his chance.

Where exactly was this list quoted from, unless it came via Zim CriciLeaks?
Panyangara
Mawoyo
Raza
Sibanda
Mutizwa

Tochi Enwerem - with a name like THAT you are surely destined for good things! will be affectionately known as "The Torch" for bringing the heat and setting the pitch on fire.

Coventary getting another crack again I guess

[eugene]

I am glad to see no Matsi or Dabengwa in the side. Is Brian Vitori white or is he a black italian?

Direct from ZC. I have the press release in front of me.

How has Max Chifamba creeped his way into the side?? Lat I saw of him he was playing for the Eagles B team and a very eratic bowler?? And who is Livemore Manatsa??never even heard of the fellow!! I do think that Chitara should be an automatic into the test team...most vicious and consistent quick we have in Zim..

[BritishBulldog]

And no Malcom Waller??odd or what??
