ZIM T20 Tri Series 2025: Zimbabwe Announced 16-Man Squad, Raza Will Lead

For the upcoming home T20I tri-series, which will take place in Harare Sports Club from July 14–26, 2025, Zimbabwe Cricket has announced a balanced 16-player squad. The team, captained by all-rounder Sikandar Raza, will play South Africa and New Zealand, two top white-ball teams.

Key Inclusions & Returns

Richard Ngarava boosts Zimbabwe's pace attack after recovering from a lower-back injury.

After suffering a concussion during Zimbabwe's Test series against South Africa, Brian Bennett is now fully recovered.

Three talented youngsters have got their first T20I call-ups: Vincent Masekesa (leg-spin), Tafadzwa Tsiga (wk-bat), and Newman Nyamhuri (left-arm seam). 

Balancing Team With Youth And Experience

This team has a well-balanced blend of youth and experience. Zimbabwe aims to strengthen its T20 bench by adding up-and-coming players and bolstering the team with seasoned players. Along with the return of important players like Ngarava and Bennett, Raza's leadership suggests a drive for competitive performances against two of cricket's top white-ball nations
