Afghanistan v Zimbabwe 2021: The Complete Zimbabwe Test & T20I Squad & Team List

Sean Williams will lead Zimbabwe squad for series against Afghanistan
by Wisden Staff 2 minute read

Uncapped Wesley Madhevere earned a call-up as Zimbabwe announced a young 15-member squad led by Sean Williams for the two-match Test series against Afghanistan starting on March 2.

Zimbabwe named a relatively young squad for the two-match Test series and T20I series against Afghanistan early next month in Abu Dhabi. Brendan Taylor and Craig Ervine were missing from the Test squad named with an illness that kept them out of the Zimbabwe cricket camp.

Tarisai Musakanda , the right-hand batsman whose last and only Test so far came in 2017 against Sri Lanka makes a return to the long format squad. The bigger news, though, is the inclusion of young Madhevere, who has already made his debut in the limited-overs formats. Another player making a comeback is Ryan Burl, who also last played a Test match in 2017.

Skipper Sean Williams, Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva and Donald Tiripano are the experienced players in a squad that has quite a number of youngsters.

The squad also misses experienced players Chamu Chibhabha, Peter Moor and Tendai Chatara. Milton Shumba, Faraz Akram and Tinashe Kamunhukamwe will join the group later for the three-match T20I series to be played after the Tests.
