Zimbabwe name squad for T20I tri-series with SA, New Zealand

Zimbabwe Cricket has announced a 16-man squad for the upcoming T20I triangular series involving South Africa and New Zealand, with all-rounder Sikandar Raza set to lead the side on home soil.

 

The tournament is scheduled to run from 14 to 26 July 2025 at Harare Sports Club, with each team facing the others twice at the round-robin stage before the top two sides meet in the final.

Zimbabwe’s squad features a blend of experience and promising talent, including the return of key players from injury.

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 squad also retains Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga and Tashinga Musekiwa, all of whom impressed during Zimbabwe’s last T20I assignment against Ireland in February.

Adding depth to the group are three uncapped players in the shortest format: wicketkeeper-batter Tafadzwa Tsiga, left-arm paceman Newman Nyamhuri and leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa.

Zimbabwe will open their campaign on 14 July against South Africa, before facing New Zealand on 18 July.

They are also set to play South Africa again on 20 July and wrap up their round-robin fixtures against New Zealand on 24 July.

The final, featuring the top two teams on the table, will be played on 26 July.
