Zimbabwe Cricket on Monday unveiled its squads for the upcoming white-ball home series against Pakistan, comprising three one-day internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 internationals (T20Is). The series is set to kick off with ODIs on November 24, 26, and 28, followed by T20Is on December 1, 3, and 5.
Craig Ervine will captain the ODI squad, which features experienced players such as Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams, Blessing Muzarabani, and Richard Ngarava. The team also includes three uncapped players: Trevor Gwandu, Tashinga Musekiwa, and Tinotenda Maposa, signaling Zimbabwe’s focus on blending seasoned talent with emerging prospects.

T20 squad retained after World Cup qualifier success
The T20I squad, which achieved record-breaking performances in last month’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 sub-regional qualifier in Kenya, remains unchanged. All-rounder Sikandar Raza will continue to lead the side in the shortest format, aiming to build on their recent success.
Zimbabwe’s Convener of Selectors, David Mutendera, expressed optimism about the squads’ capabilities, describing the series as a critical benchmark for Zimbabwe’s progress in international cricket.
“Facing a high-calibre side like Pakistan is a tremendous opportunity for us to gauge our progress and showcase Zimbabwe’s potential on the international stage. We are confident that both our ODI and T20I squads will be competitive,” Mutendera said.
