According to Raza, he thinks in July it's 5 ODIs against Pakistan and T20I tri-series with Pakistan and Australia.

I wonder if Australia are coming out just for T20’s against us, or whether they will also play SA? Seems unlikely since they’re already there. That’s going to be good to watch. Hopefully our boys would have picked themselves up for that. We are really behind in T20 exposure and need to start practicing this format. I hope they give CZ a shot at this.

Getting Australia over for Tests now would be a good time no smith or Warner

Perhaps we could legalize ball-tampering for Zimbabwe but not Australia? Might be a contest!

HAs there ever been a Zimbabwean bowler who could reverse swing the ball ??
I actually remember Vitori reversing it a long way against South Africa in an ODI in 2014 but apart from that I can’t think of anyone doing it ?

Clearly no Zimbabwean is ball-tampering.

Was Bryan Strang not our only genuine mover of the ball?
I remember some series where Olonga got some good movement.

At 70mph, so wasn't very effective. But yea, he had good control
