Sikandar Raza Returns For Zimbabwe’s Upcoming One-off Test Against England
ICC World Test Championship: Veteran all-rounder Sikandar Raza has made a return to Zimbabwe’s squad for their upcoming one-off Test against England, starting at Trent Bridge on May 22. The four-day Test will also mark Zimbabwe playing a red-ball in England for the first time after 2003.
Raza had last played Test for Zimbabwe against Afghanistan at Bulawayo earlier this year, before missing out on red-ball games against Ireland and Bangladesh, where the two-match series was tied 1-1. In 18 Tests, Raza has made 1286 runs, including a century and nine fifties, while picking 38 wickets.
Raza returns to the side in place of Johnathan Campbell while Clive Madande is back from injury and replaces Nyasha Mayavo as the back-up wicketkeeper. Pacer Newman Nyamhuri reclaims his spot in place of leg-spinner Vincent Masekesa as Zimbabwe opted for an extra fast bowler due to the expected seam-friendly conditions in England.
