Zimbabwe needs matches, and they need them desperately if only to figure out who their best is. To say they have very little idea of that is putting it mildly. To that end, Zimbabwe has named a squad that includes six changes from the one that played in a triangular series against Sri Lanka and West Indies in November. That’s almost half the squad that is different, and it suggests they are still very much in a look-and-see phase.
