Young left-arm pacer Newman Nyamhuri has also received his first call-up. He has been named in both teams after impressing as Zimbabwe’s top wicket-taker in the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa.
Ben Curran and Newman Nyamhuri have replaced Faraz Akram, Brandon Mavuta, and Clive Madande, who is recovering from a shoulder injury. The rest of Zimbabwe’s squad remains the same as in their series against Pakistan.
In the T20I squad, Nyamhuri and Takudzwanashe Kaitano replace Madande and Mavuta. After losing the previous series 2-1, Zimbabwe will hope these changes help them win and make a strong comeback, giving their fans something to celebrate.
