The Netherlands series is important for momentum – Craig Ervine

Zimbabwe men’s national team captain, Craig Ervine, has said the tour by Netherlands, confirmed for later in March is of utmost importance.

The upcoming series against the Dutch will be Zimbabwe’s last in the Super League.

Although both teams are out of contention for direct qualification, their meeting in Harare this month remains important, according to the home side’s skipper.

“I think the tour is very important for a couple of reasons,” Ervine said. 

“One being it’s a chance to look at some options ahead of the ICC Men’s World Cup Qualifier on home soil and what sort of team our selectors are looking at. 

“Two, it’s an opportunity to keep the momentum going which has brought the crowds back to Harare Sports Club and which we want to carry through to the qualifiers. 

“What we want to see again is the support we had during the 2018 qualifiers and we can only get that support by continuously winning games.”

The matches are scheduled for 21, 23 and 25 March and will all be played at Harare Sports Club, starting at 9.30am local time.
