The tournament, which was earlier scheduled to begin on July 20, has been postponed after the floodlight installation issue came to the fore. The inaugural match of the Zim Afro T10 tournament between Harare Hurricanes and Bulawayo Braves has been rescheduled to take place on July 21.

Another concern is the poor state of the pitches at the Harare Sports Club and Queens Sports Club, which are the two venues that will be hosting the tournament. The pitches have been criticized for being too slow and low, which will make it difficult for batsmen to score runs.
In light of these concerns, it is clear that ZC has not done enough to prepare for the Zim Afro T10 tournament. The board needs to take urgent action to address these issues if it wants the tournament to be a success.
The ZCB has defended its preparations for the Zim Afro T10, saying that everything is on track. However, the concerns that have been raised suggest that the tournament is not fully prepared.
If the ZCB is unable to address these concerns, the Zim Afro T10 could be a disaster. The tournament could be poorly organized and poorly attended, which would damage Zimbabwe’s reputation as a cricketing nation.
The ZCB is likely to act quickly to ensure that the Zim Afro T10 is a success. The board is sure to finalize the schedule for the tournament. However, If the ZCB succeeds in taking certain steps soon, the Zim Afro T10 could be a great opportunity for Zimbabwe to showcase its cricketing talent to the world.
However, if the ZCB is unable to address the concerns that have been raised, the Zim Afro T10 could be a major embarrassment for the country.
