Australia A's African Safari begins

Australia A's tour has begun today with the visitors playing a Zimbabwe Select XI in Harare for a three-day match. David Warner has flown straight from England to take part in this match in order for some much needed match practice. The Zimbabweans have selected a relatively strong side ahead of their 5 match ODI series with India a couple of weeks away. National captain Brendan Taylor is playing and the hosts will be relying very much on him to score runs. Meanwhile for Australia A along with Warner, Fawad Ahmed is playing who is hoping for a late call-up to the Ashes. Pat Cummins will also play in a bid to resurrect his international career after a couple of injury plagued years recently.
