Three of Zimbabwe's rebels - Heath Streak, Stuart Carlisle and Trevor Gripper ? might be on the verge of making a dramatic comeback.
It seems that talks aimed at brokering a deal to bring the remaining striking players back into the fold have progressed well and the three could well travel to Kwekwe overnight to play in the final Test between Zimbabwe A and Bangladesh A.
A spokesman for Zimbabwe Cricket said that negotiations were still ongoing and, therefore, it would be premature to comment.
Blignaut returns
Another change is the return of Andy Blignaut who is expected to bat an No. 6. in place of Gregory Strydom who has struggled with the bat. Blignaut, who was one of the rebels who went on strike last April, announced that he was prepared to play again earlier this week.
Terrence Duffin and Vusumuzi Sibanda are again expected to open with captain Dion Ebrahim, in need of runs, coming in at No. 3 while Kudakwashe Samunderu and Chamunorwa Chibhabha complete the top order line up.
With Mluleki Nkala still injured, Blessing Mahwire will lead the bowling attack with Waddington Mwayenga, Campbell Macmillan and legspinner Graeme Cremer.
Golam Nowsher, a member of the Bangladesh selection panel arrived in Zimbabwe on Monday and managed to see his side complete their 190-run victory on Tuesday. Mohammed Enamul Haque (jnr), who picked up ten wickets in the first match but was rested for the second game is likely to return.
