Zimbabwe's coach Curran speaks out in public mentioning their future tasks in hand which includes 5 ODI series against Kenya and later a tri-series involving BD, ZIM and Kenya in bangladesh. He says it in a report published in cricinfo -
"I'm not there to be liked by players. I'm there to get results. But anyhow I do not think that that will still be an issue. I'm the one who helped them to sort out their contract problems. They owe me something. I have helped to incentivise the players. If they play well, they will earn more money." "We have a plan for Kenya. If we stick to that, there is no ways we can lose to them again. The bottom line is that we need to prove ourselves. There is also the series involving Kenya, Bangladesh and us coming up. We need to measure ourselves against these sides."

Although, Bangladesh offered the march tri-series in january but due to rough conditions in zimbabwe cricket hinted that their participation will be unlikely. Therefore, Bangladesh was getting ready to play 4 ODI with Kenya if zimbabwe doesn't come. Now, the hopes for the tri-series have revived again. Zimbo players have signed a new contract with their board which will place them in the field again.
In another report published in cricinfo few days back said that zimbo players can't continue their strike anymore because the are BROKE. They haven't earned a dollar for years. Thats why they are returning to the game after signing new contracts with the board which agrees to pay them from now on despite a $200,000 of mis-management in match fees which the board owes to the players is still unresolved.
Guys, I cant wait for the tri-series to take place now. If our boys dont do anything stupid we will win the series and that will be our first ever tri-series triumph.
GO TIGERS, GO CUBS (Good luck to u/19 team b4 their QF tomorrow)
