Zimbabwe have picked two uncapped players – 21-year-old fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani and left-hand batsman Ryan Burl – in their 15-man squad for the one-off, four-day, day-night Test starting Boxing Day in South Africa. Muzarabani has played five first-class matches for Zimbabwe’s new provincial team Rising Stars to take 18 wickets at an average of 18. He will join an attack that will be led by veteran Chris Mpofu and Kyle Jarvis and backed up by Tendai Chatara, who has not played a Test since November 2014.
Burl has played nine ODIs but no Tests and has a first-class average of over 40.
Squad: Graeme Cremer (capt), Hamilton Masakadza, Craig Ervine, Brendan Taylor, Chamunorwa Chibhabha, Regis Chakabva, Sikandar Raza, Ryan Burl, Tendai Chatara, Blessing Muzarabani, Tendai Chisoro, Peter Moor, Solomon Mire, Kyle Jarvis, Chris Mpofu
