I'm worried they will waste the money but I do see the reasoning behind it. Vic Falls is the biggest tourist attraction in Zim and it's a very safe, well serviced town that foreign fans would feel more comfortable visiting. Many overseas fans would be keen to visit Vic Falls, Harare and Bulawayo not so much. Obviously I would visit both cities in a heartbeat but I'm not really the target audience.

Even during the really bad times in Zim foreigners still went to Vic Falls all the time.

Rumours going around that the other Curran brother, Ben, will declare for Zimbabwe.

I follow Devon cricket quite closely and he was down as "T Masakanda" not "Musakanda" for pretty much the entire season.

Probably a local club representative just registering him wrong and no one caring enough to fix it tbh
