Zimbabwe have named a 15-member squad for their maiden white-ball tour of India, which gets underway on October 16. The side will be led by captain Josephine Nkomo as they prepare for what is expected to be a challenging assignment. Zimbabwe have retained the same squad that featured in the recent home series against West Indies.
Zimbabwe recently hosted West Indies for a three-match ODI and T20I series. While they managed to avoid a clean sweep in the ODI leg by winning one match, they eventually lost the series 2-1. The visitors then dominated the T20Is, handing Zimbabwe a 3-0 whitewash.
Zimbabwe Women squad for India tour:
Josephine Nkomo (captain), Beloved Biza, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Kelis Ndhlovu, Michelle Mavunga, Francisca Chipare, Olinder Chare, Kudzai Chigora, Nyasha Gwanzura, Nomvelo Sibanda, Loryn Phiri, Chiyedza Dhururu, Modester Mupachikwa, Tendai Makusha, Sharne Mayers.
