for that alone i think the more games against the teams you mention - the better!

True - games against Holland, Ireland etc would be good. But these countries do not have a professional cricket structure and hence any such games would be few and far between - more like one-off knockabouts, and thus of limited use. Surely much better for Zimbabwe to field an A team (or even the main team) in some good domestic tournament (could be England, Australia or even South Africa). The standard of cricket will be fairly high, and Zimbabwe's players would get regular exposure to playing against other professionals - there is a lot that can be learnt from playing proper cricket day in, day out, which occasional limited over tournaments or Sunday league cricket just cannot address.
