A dark cloud might be cast over the future of Zimbabwe Cricket but coach Andy Waller has named a provisional 30-member squad for the ICC World T-20 Cup to be held in Bangladesh in March.

Waller will choose his final 15 men from that squad before February 15.
Preparations for the T-20 World Cup have stalled due to a player revolt that has affected the domestic season. The players have downed their bats demanding unpaid salaries.
Familiar faces appear in the Brendan Taylor-captained side which however has a few surprises.
Batsman Cephas Zhuwawo returns to the national fold after a three-year absence and will be contesting for a place to Bangladesh. Also making a comeback are Edward Rainsford, Charles Coventry and Chris Mpofu.
Southern Rocks all-rounder Tafadzwa Kamungozi has also been considered.
Former Under-19 opening batsman and wicketkeeper Kevin Kasuza has received his first senior call-up.
