“All eyes on how the mix of youth and experience shapes the team’s rhythm.”
Zimbabwe Cricket has confirmed its squad for the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. The selectors combined experience with youth, aiming to build momentum ahead of upcoming ICC events.
Senior players will provide stability and leadership, while several youngsters bring energy and fresh options. The management views this tour as a key opportunity to test team combinations and hand international exposure to emerging talent.
Sri Lanka, playing at home, will be tough opponents. Their spin-friendly conditions and strong batting order make the challenge even greater. Zimbabwe, however, is determined to fight with disciplined bowling, sharp fielding, and attacking intent at the crease.
Beyond immediate results, this series carries importance for Zimbabwe’s long-term plans. Building squad depth and shaping a competitive core remain top priorities as they prepare for bigger international assignments.
The first ODI takes place later this week, followed by two more matches to decide the series outcome.
