Zimbabwe are gearing up for an important T20I tri-series, which will see them go up against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, Zimbabwe have been hit by a setback in their pace bowling department. Their pace bowler, Blessing Muzarabani, has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I tri-series due to a back injury.

In his absence, Newman Nyamhuri—the left-arm seamer yet to be capped in T20Is—has been named as his replacement. Zimbabwe announced their squad on Monday, with Sikandar Raza set to lead the side.

The squad also includes Ryan Burl, Wellington Masakadza and Clive Madande. Zimbabwe will begin their campaign against hosts Pakistan in Rawalpindi on November 17, before locking horns with Sri Lanka on November 19 in Rawalpindi itself.

Zimbabwe squad: Sikandar Raza (c), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Graeme Cremer, Bradley Evans, Clive Madande, Tinotenda Maposa, Wellington Masakadza, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, Brendan Taylor
