Future tour rumours

[Mr Twig]

Nice to hear about the England series. There was a proposed England tour in the last FTP which never eventuated so probably shouldn’t get our hopes up but at least it’s in the FTP.

Is it us going there or them coming here?

What would also be good is a County or two coming here for their pre-season Jan-March preparations.
We have to lay it on for these guys because if that became an annual event it would be really really good for our cricket.
Plus of course they pay their own way. It has to make some sense financially for them, can't have the usual culprits trying to skin them or they'll only come once.

Zolsky mentioned about England tour so it's apparently on the card.

This man is reporting on an insider meeting. He clearly has links to TM no matter how much he denies it.

In saying that, the points made are valid. Such a long flight for only 3 ODIs in Aus. Zim should have arranged to play some local sides too. Possibly play the QLD Bulls or a representative side. Perhaps they could have asked to play Prime Ministers XI in the longer format. Was probably too much to ask to play the main Aus side considering their schedule. So whilst it would be nice to have longer tours, we need to be smarter about how we approach things.

As incompetent as ICC are, still does anyone know why they aren't releasing the FTP? It was supposed to have been finalized in that ICC meeting and they themselves announced that it will be released later in the week (which was last week)

My guess is some of the big sides are complaining bitterly about having to play smaller teams
Theyre full of shit, if they're thst confident they can rest some guys and play a second string side. The fact is the Big 3 could put out 3 competitive sides ea

Alright, back to this thread. Any news when will ZC announce the Afghanistan tour fixtures?

Will the Afghans come or will they again find some excuse?

I think Zimbabwe have got a pretty poor FTP for next 12 months. 2 series each against Ireland and Afghanistan and 1 each against West Indies and Netherlands. Of course the World Cup Qualifier as well.
