They've just named their "weakened" side for Champions Trophy, so presumably that's who we'll get. I'd like to say that should be a few easy wins, but on the back of this series I wouldn't be so sure..! :(

It was kevin Curran who was saying it and he said that the upcoming series will be away against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka there is a possibilty being discussed between the two boards of West Indies coming ahead of the Champions Trophy. This rules out it being a Tri series with India as they will only tour if there is a full strength West Indies which will not happen.

As i speak the camera switches to Heath Streak and Peter Chingoka talking and i almost fainted :o

Cricinfo commentary mentioned that as well - offering him the coach job, perhaps? :D

it did look rather friendly and Dirk Vijion said that hopefully he would be getting involved in coaching soon, so lets hope so

Yes, they can use a Zim series as warm up to Champions trophy. Now that we have already warmed up ;), we must look for a few good results there.

Another 5 matches against Bangla and 3 / 5 against Srilanka before the end of the year would be ideal.

Bangla tour is pretty much confirmed. The other two were speculations during the commentary of yesterday's match. Might well come through. Srilanka series was supposed to happen a few months back, but they had cited fatigue and had postponed the series.
