Left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza, who last played an international match in March 2016, has been included in Zimbabwe’s ODI and Test squads for the series against Sri Lanka. Wellington’s inclusion is the only addition to the Zimbabwe squad that toured Scotland and Netherlands earlier this month. The left-arm spinner’s last ODI appearance came in 2015, against Afghanistan and Sharjah.
The Zimbabwe squad for the only Test of the tour had three changes: Regis Chakabva, Carl Mumba and uncapped allrounder Nathan Waller will replace Solomon Mire, Richard Ngarava and Chamu Chibhabha. Waller was a part of Zimbabwe’s squad for the home series against Afghanistan in February but did not get a match. The changes also mean that Mire and Ngarava will have to wait longer for a maiden Test appearance.
This is Zimbabwe’s first tour of Sri Lanka since a three-Test series in December-January 2001. While the five-match ODI series on this tour begins on June 30, the one-off Test will be played in Colombo, starting July 14.
