Today, on July 1, Zimbabwe has announced its team for the five-match T20 series against India. The captaincy of the Zimbabwe team has been handed over to experienced all-rounder Sikandar Raza. Many young players have been included in this team.

Talking about Zimbabwe, the team failed to qualify for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Not only this, Zimbabwe could not make it to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Region Qualifier 2023 as well. Uganda and Namibia completed this place. At the same time, the Indian team recently won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. This team made its mark by performing very well in the important tournament and won this magnificent trophy.

Now Zimbabwe will definitely want to defeat India in this upcoming T20 series at home. Let us tell you, apart from Sikandar Raza, the average age of the other players in the 15-member team is 27 years. Sikandar Raza has played 86 T20 matches so far and he has a lot of experience in this format.

Here is the Zimbabwe squad for the five-match T20 series against India:

Sikandar Raza (captain), Akram Faraz, Bennett Bryan, Campbell Johnathan, Chatara Tendai, Jongwe Luke, Kaya Innocent, Madande Clive, Madhevere Wesley, Marumani Tadiwanashe, Masakadza Wellington, Mavuta Brandon, Muzarabani Blessing, Myers Dion, Naqvi Antum, Ngarwa Richard, Shumba Milton

Experienced players Sean Williams and Craig Ervine have not been included in the Zimbabwe team. Not only this, Ryan Burl, Joylord Gumbi will also not be seen playing in the upcoming T20 series against India. There are many young players who have made their mark in domestic cricket and now they will be fully prepared to play tremendous cricket against India.

Zimbabwe will also gain a lot of confidence from the upcoming series. The good thing for the hosts is that Sikandar Raza’s experience will prove to be very helpful for his team in the upcoming series.
