Thought it would be worthwhile to put together a list of all the players heading over to the UK this summer. Please post any more players who you are aware of heading to the UK/Europe.
I expect a number of players to pull out if they are selected for the "A" side etc. Interesting to note that Campbell, Tiripano, Evans, Munyonga and Muramani who all had UK contracts lined up have made themselves unavailable.
Roy Kaia - Svanholm Cricket Club (Denmark)
Tendai Chisoro - Kelso CC (Scotland)

Yeah but it’s club.
I often wonder if Nyathi was pumping his numbers and he was in his twenties if he would be the next big thing. He left it too late :(

Also Mumba continues to mount his case as an all rounder.
52 is what I’d expect a zimbo bat to average in a decent league.

Yeah, Mumba's numbers caught my eye as well, I don't see any reason why Jongwe should be a default selection. Mumba can be a competition for him and should be on the selectors radar.

Penny for Nick Welch's thoughts, 18th of September and in his final year of his contract, nothing announced so far on an extension.

Whoa William Mashinge...used to hear his name in all parts here couple years ago, but he's disappeared to the point I forgot he existed. I guess Brad Evans' emergence was the main reason for that.

I think sloandog played alongside him last year, and if I recall has alluded to him not being the nicest of guys he's played with. 😂

People say its just 'club' but, to be honest, the standard is seriously high. I play in the North Staffordshire and South Cheshire Premier League and each side will have about 2 or three Staffordshire or Cheshire minor counties players, as well as a gun overseas pro. Each side has a couple of genuine quick bowlers and at least 2 excellent spinners. The wicket keeping standard has been as high as I've ever seen.
Averging 50 with the bat is serious testimony to somebody's ability in this league. William Mashinge apparently was injured when he came over and was only at 40%, but he was still a knob. Expected his beer free and wouldn't stays at all after games or help with training

Didn’t you say Diplock was at your club this year? How did he go?

Tried but we signed Beyers Swanepoel from the Warriorrs instead. Diplock has had an excellent summer with the ball

Are you looking at any Zimbos for next year?
We'll be re signing Beyers.
I played against Simon Mugava this summer too. He can play!

ShareThe stats all round for the zimbos are seriously impressive, club cricket especially prem cricket in the UK is a proper standard considering it is almost entirely amateur. The main thing it shows for me is the difference between pro and the highest level of amateur cricket.

Yea, there are levels and then there are levels. A lot of county rejects are in this prem and they absolutely boss it, with both bat and ball, although most of them are absolute twats
