Burl, Musakunda Dropped From Chevrons Squad



By Perkins-Tino Bare 

Ryan Burl and Tarisai Musakunda were dropped from the Zimbabwe Cricket squad as Sean Williams and Cephas Zhuwawo will replace the two in the current squad which was blown away by Afghanistan 4-1 in their 5 match ODI series which was played in the UAE. 

The pair were dropped after a string of bad performances especially from Ryan Burl who had previous scores of 2,11,0 and 10 with the bat whilst he only managed to grab a wicket in the 4 matches that he played. 

Tarisai Musakunda was equally missing from action as he failed to grab a wicket from the two matches that he played in the series. Cephas Zhuwawo had been calling for an inclusion into the team with his performances on the pitch in the domestic league with his best being his double century 265 he scored for the Eagles against Rhinos in a Logan Cup match. He then went on to stamp his name in the Chevrons squad in the series against lowly ranked Kenya staging a show with the bat amongst with he had century.

This bumped up his average to 26.61 and his strike rate to 70.17 and will surely be a worthy addition to the team hasn’t been performing lately with the World Cup Qualifier`s coming up in a few days. Scotland and Ireland arrived in Bulawayo and all the teams were hosted for a dinner last night in Harare. 

Squad: Graeme Cremer (capt), Tendai Chatara, Tendai Chisoro, Craig Ervine, Kyle Jarvis, Hamilton Masakadza, Solomon Mire, Peter Moor, Blessing Muzarabani, Sikandar Raza, Brendan Taylor, Brian Vitori, Malcolm Waller, Sean Williams and Cephas Zhuwao.

"Don't set expectations too high and just soak every bit of what there is to soak in on the PGA Tour." Speaking on his chances in the tournament he went on to add, "I'm just here to learn," he said. "Hopefully I'll be back in a few years' time." Vincent was quick

ZC Heartbreak Can it Get Any Worse?

Perkins-Tino Bare “I played too much cricket in my life to fall back now on ‘what ifs’ and ‘maybes’ so, like the players, I will accept that we were not good enough. One win in six matches is immense disappointment. The future might be bleak, with qualification almost certainly required for the next ICC Cricket World Cup, and ZC facing a battle to attract fixtures in the short and medium term, either home or away, the players will need to embrace the fact that their futures lie in their hands” , Alastair Campbell told standard sport. So as our boys left the center stage back into the dark, gloomy background of ZC to most it was more of the same, `so close yet so far` but this time it was different the guys represented us quite well during the course of the whole tournament despite leaving with just one victory and one would be tempted to agree that if Dav Whatmore is to get more time with the team he is to build he should therefore build a formidable side indeed.
