Zimbabwe have named former captain Graeme Cremer in the 15-member squad for the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup, set to be played in India and Sri Lanka in February-March. The experienced star has made a remarkable return to international cricket after a seven-year absence, earning a place in the side following his recent performances.

Cremer made his comeback in October during a tri-series in Pakistan. Another significant boost for Zimbabwe is the return of fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani, who missed the Pakistan tri-series due to a back injury. The only player from the tri-series squad to miss out is left-arm seamer Newman Nyamhuri. Another significant addition is Clive Madande.

The squad will be led by Zimbabwe’s talismanic all-rounder Sikandar Raza. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe have been drawn in Group B alongside Australia, Sri Lanka, Ireland and Oman.

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