Zimbabwe batter Sean Williams released from squad for T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier
Veteran Zimbabwean cricketer Sean Williams has been released from the national squad currently participating in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Africa Region Final. The 39-year-old left-handed batter was released due to personal reasons, as confirmed by Zimbabwe Cricket.
Williams’ absence comes as a notable development for the Zimbabwean side, given his experience and mammoth contributions to the team. In response to his departure, Zimbabwe has called up wicketkeeper-batter Clive Madande as a replacement. While not a like-for-like replacement in terms of experience, Madande's inclusion will be a major boost for Zimbabwe.
The T20 World Cup Africa Region Final serves as a qualifying tournament for the 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, making every match crucial for Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe played their opening match against Uganda on Friday, beating them by five wickets.
Zimbabwe squad for T20 World Cup Africa Region Final: Sikandar Raza (capt), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Brad Evans, Trevor Gwandu, Clive Madande, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Tashinga Musekiwa, Tinotenda Maposa, Tony Munyonga, Dion Myers, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, Brendan Taylor
