The Men\u2019s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier B will see Zimbabwe play alongside Gambia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda and the Seychelles. The top two sides from here will advance to the regional final, where they will be joined by Namibia and Uganda, who were given a bye after having participated in the previous T20 World Cup, and four other teams from sub-regional qualifiers A and C.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zimbabwe\u2019s squad also has 11 players, including captain Sikandar Raza, who featured in the bilateral series against India in July. All-rounder Ryan Burl returns to the squad, as well as right-arm seamer Trevor Gwandu, who last played international cricket against Ireland in December last year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Other seasoned campaigners in the side are all-rounder Wessly Madhevere and the fast-bowling duo of Blessing Muzarabani and Richard Ngarava.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe have picked a young squad that is good enough to make us qualify and I am confident they will deliver in Kenya,\u201d said David Mutendera, Zimbabwe\u2019s Convener of Selectors. \u201cIf you look at the direction we are taking, with the 2026 T20 World Cup and the future in mind, we have been blooding in youngsters who will definitely do the job like they did in winning single matches against Bangladesh and India in our last two series,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cRaza is still there for now, but we had to start the process of building a younger team for the future. Of course, some players have missed out on selection this time but they are still part of our plans,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
