Still would keep Welch in , don't trust Marumami , Munyonga or Wes at all. Very happy to see Bennett in its overdue just hope he gets a crack at it.

You don’t trust Munyonga but you are happy Bennett is in? Even though the former has outplayed the latter in recent times?

They are both really good fair selections.

There’s some weird biases and agendas on here sometimes

Sounds like it. I would be a bit peeved if I was KLong. If he can't get in the side now...

So Kaia, Wellington, Welch and Chatara left out.

Regardless of the legal troubles Welch is in he has a top score of 25 after 7 T20s so not a crazy decision. Kaia is not a T20 player in my opinion and Wellington and Chatara underperformed.
Ya Welch didn’t take his chance at all.
Hard to know whether he has been dropped due to form or discipline though at the moment. Based on NPL and Pro50 form he should be in the ODI squad. But he might be on the naughty step.

This pretty much confirms to me that if the results go well, then Ervine and Williams are targeting 2027, so is Raza.

I'm not very sure if this will work though unless they have Faf Du Plessis' like fitness.

But yeah overall the team is good except for Mumba and Marumani. I would have liked to see someone else. At least K-long for Marumani would have been good.

Evans appears to be on a lengthy injury list which is why Mumba gets picked again.

No agendas or bias here , not much between them in recent times. Bennett is younger and a good prospect. Welch topped the lot and has already been given the arse yet they keep Wes and Marumani in who have been ordinary.

Gwandu, Bennett, Munyonga and Mavuta all rewarded for domestic performances, which is good to see.

I'm hoping they drop Mumba, Madande, Wes and Maru for Gumbie, Welch K-Long and Kaia for the ODIs. Then that would be fair.

I got a feeling Raza really backed everybody after their failure. He must have. That's the only thing that could have worked. Losing Raza now would have made the news in every cricket playing nation. BT in 2015 style. They don't need that
