Ireland Tour - Discussion

Raza has gone to play in the BPL, any news if he will be available for selection for the Ireland Series?

I'll be disappointed if Raza opts for T20 league over Zimbabwe.

Raza isn’t in the T20 squad due to a franchise gig. I literally told you weeks ago

Ballance is in

No other surprises.

I’d prefer Ervine retired from this format but there you go.

Six monthly account resurrection for a dumb question, but I'm guessing Madande is a keeper? Is he mainly a good gloveman or a good batsman who can keep a bit?

Very very disappointed with Raza. Not what I expected. May be he will join for ODIs.

He was a part time keeper at best at school level (he was a decent spin bowler actually), but has kept wicket full time since turning pro at domestic level. His keeping isn’t perfect at all, but it’s okay. He’s a promising bat as well.

Seeing as Regis has retired , I imagine Madande will get selected across formats going forward.

Thanks good to know. It would be good to have someone in and around ZC to help the keepers with their technique. 2 weeks with a good coach could make a massive difference. This is why it would be great to have more of the players in franchise leagues ( I know there's some conjecture about whether the growth of leagues is a good thing) just for those development opportunities.

Forgot to mention Blessing as well. Both playing for the same team in Dubai. Good luck to them.

I’d prefer them to be available for the ODIs but I don’t mind their absences for these T20’s at all.

And ZC mentioned that Blessing unavailable due to injury.
