Madhevere, Nyamhuri Return As Zimbabwe Name Squad For T20Is Against India
Madhevere, Nyamhuri return to Zimbabwes squad for upcoming T20I series against India
The trio come into the squad in place of Clive Madande, Tinotenda Maposa, and Tashinga Musekiwa, who were part of the side that recently faced Bangladesh. All three matches of the series will be played at the Harare Sports Club on July 23, 25, and 26.
Tsiga, who has represented Zimbabwe in 10 Tests, is yet to make his white-ball international debut. Madhevere, a regular in the Test and ODI setups during the Bangladesh series, 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.
Sikandar Raza will continue to lead Zimbabwe, who secured a historic innings win in the sole Test and clinched the ODI series 2-1 before conceding the T20I series 1-2. The hosts will face a formidable task against reigning T20 World Cup champions India, who are coming off a 2-0 defeat in Ireland and a 4-0 loss in England.
