I think this goes beyond 'seeing sense' for many of the rebels, its a point of principle, and their livelihood they're fighting for.

I'm sure there's plenty of Zimbabwe Cricketers that could strengthen the side, but this is exactly why the rebels are doing what they're doing - the ZCU simply won't pick players based on merit alone.

There's no coincidence that the majority of the rebels are white, and the majority of the current Zimbabwe side are black - this pretty much sums up the situation in a nutshell.
