90s Africa ODI draft - including SA, Zim and Kenya

There were requests to make a 90s Curry cup draft after the shield and county ones, but I'm in an ODI mood atm with the WC so near

The criteria is you must have played a single ODI for either South Africa, Kenya or Zimbabwe between Jan 1st 1991- Dec 31st 2001. The reason I'm extending it a tad beyond the 90s is a) SA werent even playing regularly til 92 and b) there is a massive shortage of keepers available in this draft and having it go to 2001 helps a bit.

In fact by my quick count only 5 regular full time keepers, 1 specialist keeper but he only played handful of games, 1 part time keeper and 1 batsman who took the gloves once but we can barely even count that. So realistically only 7 keeping options which means I'm limiting the draft to 7 people. As well as making a rule that you can only have one player in your XI who took 5 or more ODI wicket keeping dismissals, so none of the 7 teams will go keeperless.

Other than the keeper issue I think this will be a fun draft.

An edit - There's actually 8 legitimate keeping options not 7, so I'll extend that rule to Max 8 players. That's still not including the batsman who kept once either.

That's 7 but I don't know if SCC has actually joined

No east Africa due to no ODIs in the time period

Oh and just in case of confusion, this is not simply drafting based on how well the players played in this time period but their overall careers.
