Zimbabwe take on Bangla tigers

 

Can bet on this series being closely fought over the second string Windies and Bangladeshis.. 

For Zimbabwe :: 

• Tatenta Taibu has been handed a 10 match ban after having been found guilty of assaulting a Zimbabwe Cricket's (ZC) finance manager.. 
• Mark Vermeulen comes back to the team after 5 years..

Mark Vermeulen had been charged by the police in connection with two arson attacks which destroyed buildings at the Zimbabwe Cricket Academy and damaged an office at the headquarters of Zimbabwe Cricket.
(Arson is the crime of deliberately and maliciously setting fire to structures or wildland areas.)
Vermeulen, had admitted setting fire to the two buildings in 2006 but pleaded not guilty to arson on psychiatric grounds, adding that he suffered from partial complex epilepsy and impulsive behaviour disorder after he was hit and injured by a cricket ball during a match in Australia.

Zimbabwe Squad: Prosper Utseya (capt), Hamilton Masakadza, Ray Price, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Mark Vermeulen, Charles Coventry (wk), Vusi Sibanda, Sean Williams, Elton Chigumbura, Chamu Chibhabha, Forster Mutizwa, Keith Dabengwa, Timycen Maruma, Graeme Cremer, Chris Mpofu, Tawanda Mupariwa, Ed Rainsford, Admire Manyumwa, Trevor Garwe ..

For Bangladesh :: 

• Abdur Razzak has been ruled out due to hamstring injury..
• Enamul Haque Jr replaces Razzak..
