Zimbabwe retain key names for Bangladesh T20Is

Zimbabwe have named a 15-player squad for their upcoming three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, largely retaining the group that reached the Super Eight stage of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

The hosts return to T20I cricket full of confidence after an impressive World Cup campaign that saw them top their first-round group unbeaten and register memorable victories over Australia and Sri Lanka.

Squad: Sikandar Raza (c), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Ben Curran, Brad Evans, Clive Madande, Tinotenda Maposa, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Tashinga Musekiwa, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, Milton Shumba.

Captain Sikandar Raza continues to lead the side. Young fast bowler Newman Nyamhuri and batter Milton Shumba are the only additions to the squad. Nyamhuri is yet to make his T20I debut, while Shumba returns to the format for the first time since the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Ben Curran, who joined Zimbabwe's World Cup squad earlier this year as an injury replacement, keeps his place and could also make his T20I debut during the series.

Zimbabwe will be without Graeme Cremer, who misses out due to a left-arm fracture, while Brendan Taylor and Tony Munyonga are also absent from the squad that featured at the World Cup.

The series will be played at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo starting July 15 and concludes Bangladesh's white-ball tour of Zimbabwe following the ongoing ODI series in Harare.

Series schedule:

First T20I: July 15
Second T20I: July 17
Third T20I: July 19
