Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to field in the first one-day international against Ireland in Harare on Wednesday as they welcomed back batsmen Sikandar Raza and Gary Ballance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Raza was released to play franchise cricket in Bangladesh during Zimbabwe's T20 series with Ireland which the hosts won 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Pakistan-born star has been nominated for the 2022 ICC Cricketer of the Year, ODI Cricketer of the Year and T20 Cricketer of the Year awards.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former England Test and ODI batsman Ballance missed the final two T20 matches due to concussion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Veteran all-rounder Sean Williams misses out, however, after breaking a finger in the second T20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ireland included opener Paul Stirling, off spinner Andy McBrine and fast medium pacer Josh Little, none of whom were involved in the T20 series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
