With thanks to acting convener of selectors Max Ebrahim for his information.
The two Mashonaland teams meet at Harare Sports Club in their Logan Cup `derby' match. The Mashonaland A side, which remains unchanged from the team that played Matabeleland the weekend before last, is technically the home team.
Mashonaland on the other hand make four changes, as their international players are available again. Recent captain Trevor Penney, who only played due to the extreme difficulty the selectors had in finding enough quality players, reverts to his position as coach of Mashonaland A and will not be playing. He will be replaced by Grant Flower, who takes over at captain.
Other changes are Gus Mackay for Norbert Manyande, Bryan Strang for Darlington Matambanadzo and Alistair Campbell for his brother Don. Trevor Madondo will take over the wicket-keeping gloves.
Stuart Carlisle is still unavailable as he is on honeymoon. Brian Murphy (knee) and Eian Marillier (broken toe) have long-term injuries and are not expected to be available at all for the competition.
