Zimbabwe Squad To Face Kenya To Be Named Tomorrow

Kenya will be in a very unusual position when they take on Zimbabwe this Saturday in the first One Day International at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. For the first time ever against a full member country, they will go into the match with a more experienced side. According to this report by Cricinfo, Zimbabwe's captain, Terry Duffin has yet to play in a full ODI, although he has played for Zimbabwe 'A', and did score a half centruy against India on Debut, so he can bat. It will be interesting to see the rest of the squad when it is announced tomorrow, and even more so to see if they will be able to gel as a team. How many of their youngsters are called up from the Under 19 squad will also be a factor. Sean Williams, Zimbabwe's captain at the Under-19 World Cup says in this article, again from cricinfo, that he doesn't think that many of the players are ready yet. Zimbabwe may not have a choice however, and Kenya must be prepared to take full advantage of any weaknesses. That said, we also will be blooding some youngsters of our own, and must guard against complacency.
