Good to see Rockingham taking another Zimbabwean. They have donated a lot of money to grassroots and primary school cricket in Zim and often have a Zim pro.

I'm sure the Pakistan "A" series will impact a few of these guys.

Shame he never got a go but he was never going to be pushing for national team selection.

High quality bowler. Too outspoken though!
