Delhi:Zimbabwe cricket team has announced its 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Bangladesh (ZIM vs BAN) from July 15. The selectors have expressed confidence in the same core team for this series, which had performed brilliantly in the T20 World Cup 2026 earlier this year and made it to the Super-8. The command of the team will remain in the hands of experienced all-rounder Sikandar Raza.

New faces and return of old players

Fast bowler Newman Nyamahuri made his ODI and Test debut in December 2024. In the ongoing only Test and first ODI match against Bangladesh, he impressed everyone with his brilliant performance with both ball and bat, after which he got called in the T20 team for the first time.

Experienced batsman Brendan Taylor has not got a place in this team. In his place, Ben Curran, who joined as an injured player during the T20 World Cup, has managed to save his place. Additionally, Graeme Creamer’s name was not considered as he is suffering from a fracture in his left hand.

‘It is important to maintain the momentum of the World Cup’

David Mutendera, coordinator of selectors, said regarding team selection,

‘The T20 World Cup showed what this team is capable of, so it was very important for us to maintain continuity in the team. We wanted to put together the core team that made it to the Super-8 in the tournament. At the same time, space was also made for those players who impressed with their performance in domestic cricket.

Let us tell you that these three T20 matches between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh will be played on 15, 17 and 19 July at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.
