Is it only Rahim from Bangladesh, and Cremer from Zimbabwe, who have played international cricket to this point who'll be playing in the tournament?

International Vice-Captain
If you don't include Eoin Morgan at Ireland who AFAIK played in the Intercontinental Cup in 2005, and possibly a couple of the Nepalis/Namibians, then yes.

Edit: plus Williams and Chibabha at Zimbabwe

For the Bangladeshis, Saqibul Hasan and Mehrab Hossain jnr have also played A-level cricket

International Regular
Sean Williams, Zimbabwe's captain, has played ODIs, and Justice Chibhabha played one, got a duck, but is supposed to be a very exciting prospect. Kudakwashe Samunderu played for the A side. Apparently Sean is very troubled about whether he should play or not. His father, who is quite a forceful man by all accounts (Zimbabwe's hockey coach), doesn't want him to go. Other Zimbabweans to look out for are Nicolson and Kasteni.

Sean Williams and Justice Chibhabha of Zimbabwe have played international cricket as well, while Donald Samunderu (again Zimbabwe) has been in the ODI squad a few times, albeit not actually playing.

Including a rogue apostrophe, if the past tense of the word isnt really "Panyangaraed."
I invented the verb, hence I get to choose how I tensify it. And it has an apostrophe.

I agonised long and hard over whether Panyangarad or Panyangara'd was the correct form to take, and decided that the latter was more appropriate that the first one sounds like somewhere in Russia.

You're not preaching to ignoramuses, Neil. People on Cricket Web recognise just how dedicated you are to the preservation of English as we know it, and the sacrifices you make.

Did Zimbabwe get seeded infront of Australia and Bangladesh or something. Don't tell me Australian are that crap. Should be interesting to see how Jackson Bird from Manly goes, i doubt he will make the Australian 1st XI as he is just a 2nd Grade cricketer here.
How long before those in the Zimbabwe u-19's get their first Test cap?

Not long soon since the ICC won't to squat.

But why though? I don't think there are many words that grow an apostrophe when tensified, if any...

Two reasons, like I said... a) it's my verb, and b) otherwise it sounds Russian

Did you meet Fardin there? Was he bowling Vettori-like offspin?
