Zimbabwe Appoint Sikandar Raza As New T20I Captain In A Bid To Clinch 2024 Men’s T20 WC Spot
National Team Head Coach Gary: Off-spin all-rounder Sikandar Raza has been named as captain of Zimbabwe’s T20I side with an eye to clinch a spot in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held in West Indies and USA.
The change comes after Zimbabwe recently lost the T20I series to Namibia 3-2. Raza takes over from Craig Ervine, who will now lead the Zimbabwe side in Tests and ODIs and had captained Zimbabwe in 38 matches. Raza had previously captained Zimbabwe in four matches from 2015 to 2021, albeit coming in a stand-in skipper capacity.
Zimbabwe missed out on participating in the 2021 T20 World Cup because Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) was suspended by the ICC due to government interference in its administration. In the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, Zimbabwe topped their group in the first round.
