Pacer ruled out as Zimbabwe name tri-series squad
The series will serve as vital preparation time for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup next year.
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 17 November in Rawalpindi.
