The other four teams are Durban Qalandars, Cape Town Samp Army, Bulawayo Braves, and the Joburg Lions. The player’s draft for the league will be conducted on July 2 at a grand ceremony in Harare.
Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Mr. Givemore Makoni said, “To see some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry throw their weight behind the Zim Afro T10 gives me immense pleasure, and tells me that the tournament is being well received. Now, all that is left is that the Harare Hurricanes put in a brilliant showing in the tournament next month.”
