The upcoming Test series is going to be historic as this is the first time that both Zimbabwe and Ireland will take on each other in a Test match.

Talking about Zimbabwe’s performance in the ongoing series against the Indian cricket team, Sikandar Raza’s side started on a blockbuster note as they defeated the Indian side in the first game of the 5-match t20I series at the Harare Sports Club on July 6. However, the Men in Blue made a stunning comeback in the team and have now won two back-to-back games.

After losing the third game, Raza said in the post-match presentation: “It’s time that our players including myself take up the responsibility. The youngsters making mistakes is acceptable but the senior players need to step up. You cannot fix a problem by creating another problem, we have picked three openers for a reason. The openers that have been picked up should be given a run.”
