First Class debuts for Nqobile Sibanda at Rhinos, and, interestingly, a guy called Karabo Motlhanka at Tuskers, who appears to be the Botswana national captain! :D

Yeah, we always say we want bigger nations to help us out more, give us more fixtures etc, and we are always complaining that CSA don't give us more help. So I guess it goes two ways, and we have a responsibility to try and help smaller African countries below us too. There's no reason we can't invite the occasional leading player from somewhere like Botswana/Uganda/Kenya to play the odd LC game, especially when our national team is away. And the top Namibian guys would genuinely improve the quality too if they came.

Are we already done with the pro50? who won?? Given thattheres a T20I WC down the corner, should the lads be playing tons of T20s??

I personally think the Logan Cup would hugely benefit from influx of players from Namibia or even by adding 2x Namibian sides to the competition.
Maybe add one Namibian side but inject some other players into the existing Zimbabwean sides

Have heard from a good source that this guy, very very experienced, is one of the signings;

Nick Gubbins. Good signing!
Yeah this guy is really sharp. Top player.
Suddenly these guys are loving sunny Zimbabwe. This is great news.
Ya really good news. I think there might be 1 more Overseas as well - apparently Eagles have signed someone.
Tuskers must be favourites to lift the cup now surely. Ervine, Williams, Gubbins, Shumba - one of the stronger franchise batting lineups we've seen for a few years.

In my book, this makes Mavuta a bone fide all-rounder. We often mislabel bowlers with sporadic run-a-ball cameos as all-rounders. In my book, you need a ton and five-for…I.e showing that you can/have achieved the gold standard excellence in batting and bowling. That said, will he at least get a look in (for Chevrons) now? Nyauchi could be our Hazelwood , effective medium pacer, he too is deserving of consideration

This is exciting news, a lot of good quality international players are gracing our shores. Andy Flower was right, Zimbabwe is the best place (climate-wise) to play cricket. A good 4 day game at Bulawayo’s sunny Queens sports club !! It doesn’t get better than that!! I hope these lads have a good time and teach our lot a thing or two!!

Perhaps this is why they have pushed the pro50 finals a few weeks out. To accomodate this influx of international players who are here for the Logan cup. I hopefully some will stick around for our T20. I reckon a Zim players selected on the basis of their domestic performance against teams littered with international talent will be more meritorious, as opposed to a local XI vs another local XI
