Zimbabwe have announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia. Regis Chakabva will continue to lead Zimbabwe for a third successive ODI series with regular captain Craig Ervine still recovering from a hamstring injury.
Due to their respective injuries, Tendai Chatara (collarbone fracture), left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza (shoulder tendon injury) and opening batter Milton Shumba (quadricep injury) were all unavailable fo♐r selection.
However, Blessing Muzarabani, who didn’t feature in the three ODIs against India, has been included in the outfit. He was recovering from a muscle tear because of which he couldn’t take♒ part in the white-ball series against the Men in Blue. Muzarabani has 46 wickets in ODIs from 33 matches, including three four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul.
This is going to be a crucia💟l tour for Zimbabwe as the last time they played an ODI down under was during the 2015 World Cup. Before this, Zimbabwe appeared in a tri-series involving the hosts and India way back in 2004.
The three ODI matches between Australia and Zimbabwe are scheduled to take place on Augus🐲t 28, August 31 and September 3, respectively, at the To🙈ny Ireland Stadium in Townsville.
