Zimbabwe Lines Up a 15-Strong Squad for England Test
Get ready for some high-energy cricket as Zimbabwe prepares to face England in a one-off Test, set to kick off on May 22. This marks the first Test for Zimbabwean soil in England since 2003, and they're bringing their A-game with them.
Star all-rounder Sikandar Raza is making a much-anticipated comeback to the side, having been sidelined due to franchise commitments. Raza, with impressive stats of 220 runs and eight wickets in the Pakistan Super League, steps in to replace Johnathan Campbell.
Clive Madande, who's been battling an injury, is back in the mix, taking over the backup wicketkeeping duties from Nyasha Mayavo. On the flip side, Vincent Masekesa, who placed a five-wicket haul on his Test debut against Bangladesh, misses out - the visitors opting for an extra seam bowling option in Newman Nyamhuri instead.
Zimbabwe head coach Justin Sammons summed it up perfectly when he said, "I expect us to play to a standard that can compete with one of the best teams in the world. I want the guys to walk out there believing they belong and embracing the moment."
Post the match against England, Zimbabwe will be facing South Africa in a four-day fixture starting June 3. This game will humbly serve as a warm-up for South Africa before their 2023-25 World Test Championship final against Australia, scheduled to begin on June 11.
