Harare [Zimbabwe], July 10 (ANI): All-rounder Sikandar Raza will be donning the captaincy armband as a 16-member squad for the upcoming home tri-nation series featuring South Africa and New Zealand was announced on Thursday, featuring a blend of familiar faces as well as uncapped players, as they gear up for a crucial stretch of white-ball cricket.
The tri-nation series will kickstart from July 14 to July 26 at Harare Sports Club.
Raza will once again take on the leadership mantle as Zimbabwe aims to deliver strong performances against two of the world's top white-ball sides.
Several key players make their return from injury, including left-arm quick Richard Ngarava, who has recovered from a lower-back issue, and young all-rounder Brian Bennett, who has been cleared following a concussion that limited his participation in the recent Test series against South Africa.
The squad retains a strong core from Zimbabwe's last T20I outing against Ireland in February, with Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, and Tashinga Musekiwa keeping their spots after solid performances.
Zimbabwe have also handed opportunities to three uncapped players in the T20I format. Wicketkeeper-batter Tafadzwa Tsiga, left-arm pacer Newman Nyamhuri, and leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa have been brought in as they look to broaden their squad depth.
