NEW DELHI: Zimbabwe have announced their squad of 15 players for the upcoming one-off Test match against Ireland, marking their first-ever Test encounter with the Irish team. The Zimbabwean side last played Test cricket in 2023 during a two-match home series against West Indies, which resulted in a 1-0 defeat.
The team will be led by Craig Ervine and features experienced players such as Sean Williams, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani, and Richard Ngarava.
In addition to the seasoned campaigners, Zimbabwe have included four uncapped players in the squad. These newcomers are wicketkeeper-batters Clive Madande and Joylord Gumbie, along with all-rounders Brian Bennett and Johnathan Campbell.
The solitary Test match is scheduled to take place from July 25 to July 29 at Stormont in Belfast, Ireland.
