What under 19s?
Where’s the squad??
No squad mate. World Cup is in January.
There’s about 25 boys regularly in ZC camps and training currently competing to get into the squad. You can see some scorecards from their training matches on the App, and there’s a small handful of others at school in SA who will come into contention too

I'd say the final squad will come out of this group;
Liam Mudenda, Panashe Taruvinga, Matthew Schonken, Newman Nyamhuri, Dylan Nzvenga, Brandon Sunguro, Ronak Patel, Dhruv Patel, Campbell Macmillan, Sean Bennett, Ryan Kamwemba, Nathaniel Hlabangana, Codie Marillier, Panashe Gwatiringa, Declan Rugg, John Mark Benadie, Mashford Shungu, Carlton Takawira, Villain Changa, Munashe Chimusoro, Shaun Dzakatira, Kohl Eksteen

I've probably missed one or two

Is Brad Evans injured or taking a break? Weird he isn’t playing in the NPL.

Emmanuel Bawa bossing it again.

Could he be a dark horse for the national side.
Seems to take his chances unlike the shumbas of the world.

No because he’s busy in the U.K. and also you need to score consistent runs at franchise level, not club level, before you should be considered.

The NPL is a really good thing but let’s not kid ourselves about the quality and standard on display. Outside the top 4-5 teams it is very poor and it isn’t a good indicator.

Anyway, two of the good teams - Takashinga and Uprising - are on here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPJY85u ... bweCricket

I did stipulate dark horse and in no way advocating him to be parachuted in next series.
This match he has scored runs against nyauchi and hondo so not a poor attack by any means.
Lets see how he goes in logan cup and 50 overs.
