Sikandar Raza To Lead 15-man Zimbabwe Squad In Men’s T20 World Cup 2026
Sinhalese Sports Club Ground: Zimbabwe Cricket on Friday announced a 15-man squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, scheduled to be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8. Veteran all-rounder Sikandar Raza will captain the side, continuing his leadership role as Zimbabwe look to make a strong impression on the global stage.
Continuity is a defining feature of the selection, with fit-again fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani the only addition to the squad that competed in the T20I triangular series in Pakistan in November, which also featured Sri Lanka. Muzarabani will spearhead the pace attack alongside left-arm seamer Richard Ngarava, with Bradley Evans and Tinotenda Maposa providing depth and flexibility to Zimbabwe’s seam-bowling options.
The spin department leans on experience and control, with veteran Graeme Cremer earning a recall to partner Wellington Masakadza. Zimbabwe’s batting line-up blends youthful promise with proven experience.
