Pan Africa Team.

Just a thought but teams like Zimbabwe, cricket life is on a day to day basis, seems to be lurching from one crisis to another.
While on the other hand we have teams like kenya, who are desperate to play Test cricket, not to mention some of the Southern African states (excluding South Africa).

So could a team called Africa work, would these small teams be better coming together, and sharing their collective pool of players.

And most of all, would a Africa wide cricket team, take the politics out of African cricket, their headquarters could be based in South Africa, or even italy or some other neutral country.

Look at the size of Austraia, they made it work despite long distances.

Just a thought.
