Zimbabwe announces full squad for upcoming tri-nation T20I series

Zimbabwe announced a 16-man squad for the upcoming T20I tri-nation series involving New Zealand and South Africa starting on July 14 and concluding on July 26, 2025. The matches of the tournament will be arranged at Harare Sports Club. Experienced all-rounder Sikandar Raza was assigned to lead the team in the series.

The Zimbabwe cricket squad selected is maintaining a balance between experience and emerging players, with multiple cricketers ready to mark their presence after recovering from injury. In a press release, the governing body of Zimbabwe cricket informed, "Left-arm pacer Richard Ngarava, who had been sidelined with a lower-back injury, is back to bolster the bowling attack alongside fellow seamer Blessing Muzarabani. Young all-rounder Brian Bennett, who missed part of the recent Test series against South Africa in Bulawayo due to a concussion, has also been cleared and is available for action."

 The team management also recalled some of their exciting talents who did a great job during their series against Ireland. Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, and Tashinga Musekiwa have made a comeback in the national side. Wicketkeeper-batter Tafadzwa Tsiga, left-arm paceman Newman Nyamhuri, and leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa are the three uncapped players who found their place in the team. The tournament will be played in a round robin format; every team will face each other twice before getting to the final match of the tournament.
