Evans and Campbell are indeed in the UKZ
Are they keen on playing for Zim?
Campbell is very very keen to play for Zim. I don't think he's good enough, but would be interesting to see him in an A series. Shame he's not here at the moment.

Evans I'm not sure what his plans are. I think he'll be back again for the new season once the club season in the UK finishes though. I don't think he has other options and he is said to be very close to selection.

There's probably one or two others from the list I posted earlier that may have UK deals as well, which is usual for this time of year.

Hopefully we have another good A series later in the year!

Yeah the A team is really crucial, they need more games. Could be a good yardstick to measure top franchise players against quality opposition and no better than lads knocking on the doors of their national sides.

This is exactly the type of series to give the young guys an extended run and rest the set senior guys. Use the senior guys in the training and in the nets. Keep them around the set up and such, but don't just make it the main side with an A side name.

Excited to see how guys like Jongwe, Nyauchi, Ngarava, Chivanga, Kasuza, Musakanda ,Burl, Wes, Myers, Muramani and Shumba do. This will really show who is good enough and who isn’t . I wonder who the keeper is going to be . A chance for somebody to stand up and be counted. Perfect preparation for Bangladesh.

This is looking like a busy year actually. No 3 month breaks. The timing is perfect for guys like Wes to get into gear at the highest level.

Not sure how expensive it is but It should be a norm to have concurrent National and A side tours. If say we are hosting Bangladesh, our A side should be touring Bangladesh.

This is brilliant. I'll also be interested to see who makes the cut for South Africa A team.

I'm guessing it will, but do we know if it will be streamed? I'm guessing we will get that one end vision we got for the domestic comp.

Want to see Bright Matsiwe & Tsiga as Wicket Keeper Batsman in this series ahead of proven failure Mutumbami & Mayavo
