ZIMBABWE have named two uncapped players in their squad for a sub-regional qualifying contest in Kenya this month, as they begin their quest for a place at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
The newcomers are all-rounder Tashinga Musekiwa and right-arm fast bowler Tinotenda Maposa, with 11 of the players who featured against India in July being retained.
Aiming to rebuild under new head coach Justin Sammons, Zimbabwe are going to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier B with a young squad with an average age of 26 and a total of 509 T20I appearances.
The other participants in the six-team ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Sub-Regional Qualifier B are The Gambia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda and the Seychelles.
The top two sides in the tournament 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 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, and four other teams from sub-regional qualifiers A and C.
