His comeback provides a major boost to the Chevrons&#8217; bowling attack, where he is expected to form a potent new-ball partnership with left-arm seamer Richard Ngarava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pace unit is further reinforced by the inclusion of Bradley Evans and Tinotenda Maposa, adding depth and all-round options to the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a significant move, former captain Graeme Cremer has been recalled to international duty after a seven-year absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experienced leg-spinner&#8217;s return strengthens the spin department for conditions expected in the subcontinent, where he will combine with Wellington Masakadza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The batting lineup blends experience with exciting new talent. Seasoned campaigner Brendan Taylor provides a steadying presence, while rising star Brian Bennett is among the young players expected to play key roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The squad selection reflects a strategic balance between proven performers and emerging talent, as the Chevrons aim to make a competitive impact on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FOLLOW US FOR REAL-TIME UPDATES:<br>\u00b7 X (Twitter): @ZimGbc<br>\u00b7 Instagram: @ZimGBCNews<br>\u00b7 TikTok: @ZimGBCNews_01<br>\u00b7 Facebook: Zim GBC News<br>\u00b7 YouTube: Zim GBC News<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get real-time alerts on WhatsApp:<br>+263 773 820 323<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News | Global News From An African Perspective\u00a9\ufe0f2026<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zim GBC Sports News HARARE \u2013 Zimbabwe Cricket has named a strong 15-man squad for the upcoming ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup, with the return of key players bolstering the&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11646,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11645"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11645\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11647,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11645\/revisions\/11647"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
