Zimbabwe have named their T20I squad to face India in the upcoming three match T20I series. Sikandar Raza is set to lead the side and they have named a full strength squad for this series. Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Tafadzwa Tsiga has earned his maiden T20I call-up, while all-rounder Wessly Madhevere and pacer Newman Nyamhuri returned to the 15-member Zimbabwe squad for the three-match series against India, starting on Thursday. The trio come into the squad in place of Clive Madande, Tinotenda Maposa, and Tashinga Musekiwa, who were part of the Bangladesh T20I series last week.
Tsiga has represented Zimbabwe in 10 Tests, and is yet to make his white-ball international debut. Madhevere, a regular in the Test and ODI setup returns to the shortest format for the first time since July 2025, and has played 79 T20Is so far. Meanwhile, Nyamhuri makes a comeback after recovering from a niggle that curtailed his participation during the ODIs against Bangladesh earlier this month. Tanaka Chivanga, who was brought in as Nyamhuri’s replacement and featured in the third ODI, has managed to retain his spot.
Tough Indian challenge awaits Zimbabwe
Defending champions India will be a tough challenge for Zimbabwe and led by Shreyas Iyer, India have named a formidable squad. Despite losing the T20I series on the UK tour, they still have the quality in the squad to put up a good show. Zimbabwe, on home soil have always done well and they will be looking to challenge this Indian side. This will also be a crucial series for Shreyas Iyer who is yet to get a win as Indian captain.
Zimbabwe squad: Sikandar Raza (captain), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Tanaka Chivanga, Ben Curran, Brad Evans, Wessly Madhevere, Tadiwanashe Marumani (wk), Wellington Masakadza, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, Milton Shumba, Tafadzwa Tsiga (wk).
