Zimbabwe Tour of Bangladesh, 2024- Squads, Fixtures and All you need to know
Zimbabwe are traveling to Bangladesh in order to participate in a 5 match T20I series, starting on the 3rd of May, 2024. The final T20I match of the series will be played on the 12th of May.
The first 3 T20I's will be played in Chattogram, while the remaining two matches will be played in Dhaka.
Bangladesh will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, while Zimbabwe will have Sikandar Raza as it's captain. Mohammad Saifuddin has returned to the National setup. Given his ability both with ball and the bat, Saifuddin is a great addition to the team. Another great addition to the T20I squad is that of Tanzid Hassan, who showed great signs of form in BPL. He is yet to make a T20I debut.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman will miss out on the first 3 T20I's but they will return for the final 2 matches. Anamul Haque, Mohammad Naim and Taijul Islam have been dropped from the squad after dismal performances against Sri Lanka in the T20I's played recently.
Sikandar Raza led Zimbabwe side will feature experienced players like Sean Williams, Craig Ervine, Blessing Muzarabani, and Richard Ngarava. Tadiwanashe Marumani and Faraz Akram have also made a comeback into the T20I setup, following their golden run at Zimbabwe Domestic T20 competition. Clive Madande and Brian Bennett have also earned their callups to the National squad.
Both the teams have named a strong squad for the upcoming series. The face off between these two exciting sides will be nothing short of a spectacle to watch.
