Sikandar Raza to continue as Zimbabwe ODI captain with Richard Ngarava injured

Sikandar Raza is set to continue as Zimbabwe captain for the upcoming ODI tri-series against Afghanistan and Bangladesh in the UAE with regular skipper Richard Ngarava still injured.

Ngarava is still recovering from an issue with his back that kept him out of the home series against Australia, with Zimbabwe also set to play three T20Is and two Tests against Afghanistan in a separate bilateral series in the UAE.

Zimbabwe have made two changes to their ODI squad with wicketkeeper Tafadzwa Tsiga and legspinner Vincent Masekesa included and could potentially make their debuts in the 50-over format.

Raza, Craig Ervine and Brendan Taylor provide experience in the batting unit while lanky fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani will lead the bowling attack.

Zimbabwe ODI squad: Sikandar Raza (captain), Ben Curran, Blessing Muzarabani, Brad Evans, Brendan Taylor, Brian Bennett, Craig Ervine, Ernest Masuku, Newman Nyamhuri, Ryan Burl, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Tafadzwa Tsiga, Vincent Masekesa, Wellington Masakadza, Wessly Madhevere

Zimbabwe T20I squad: Sikandar Raza (capt), Ben Curran, Blessing Muzarabani, Brad Evans, Brian Bennett, Innocent Kaia, Kundai Matigimu, Newman Nyamhuri, Ryan Burl, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Tafadzwa Tsiga, Vincent Masekesa, Wellington Masakadza, Wessly Madhevere
