"Documentation issues" has happened before - this game, in which Czech Republic scored the (I think) highest T20I score occurred when most of the Turkey team couldn't get visas. Or something like that.

Has the qualification set up changed? Seems odd Zimbabwe are playing against Kenya, Rwanda, Mozambique, Seychelles and Gambia.

Hasn't changed but Zimbabwe didn't make the World Cup so have to start at the bottom level of qualifying.

This is only the Ivory Coast's 2nd T20I, they scored 21 in the previous one

Not that it means much when you score 7, but they were 0/4 after 5 balls as well for good measure.

 

[Cmarsh]

Poor old Ivory Coast. Fresh off their recent 7 run performance, now they get overtaken in 2 overs by a tiny island nation in the South Atlantic.

That has been obvious for a long time, probably before the Intercontinental Cup got axed.

More potential recruits for Italy.

Tim Ward and Jake Doran pop up in that article. Interesting given Ward is in some people's minds as being a potential Australian player.

Doran I think is potentially a future test keeper for Australia. In a post Carey world you have Inglis (who's a few years older than Doran) then Philippe (same age) who's batting technique is still a little iffy despite his talent.
