Zimbabwe have announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming T20I tri-series in Pakistan, which also features Sri Lanka, as part of their preparations for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
The squad sees just one change from the group that recently faced Afghanistan in a home series.
Pacer Blessing Muzarabani has been ruled out due to a back injury. Uncapped quick Newman Nyamhuri earns a call-up as his replacement.
Sikandar Raza will continue to lead the side, which features experienced names including Ryan Burl, Wellington Masakadza, and veteran Brendan Taylor, who makes a return to the national setup.
Zimbabwe will play hosts Pakistan in the tri-series opener on November 17 in Rawalpindi before taking on Sri Lanka at the same venue on November 19.
The Chevrons will then travel to Lahore, where they will square off again with the home side on November 23, while their final round-robin fixture is scheduled against Sri Lanka on November 5.
The top two teams at the end of the round-robin stage will then advance to the final, scheduled for November 29 at the Gaddafi Stadium.
The series will serve as vital preparation time for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup next year.
Zimbabwe etched their place as one of the 20 teams at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup next year in India and Sri Lanka, after completing a flawless run to win the T20 World Cup 2026 Africa Qualifier.
