Uncapped Naqvi named in Zimbabwe squad for India T20Is

Zimbabwe have named Antum Naqvi in a young T20I squad to face India but the inclusion of the 25-year-old batter is subject to him getting confirmed as a Zimbabwe citizen. Tendai Chatara, Brandon Mavuta and Wessly Madhevere are among those who return to the 17-man squad led by Sikandar Raza but there's no place for Ryan Burl, Joylord Gumbie and Ainsley Ndlovu. Craig Ervine and Sean Williams were not considered for selection, the Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) said. Naqvi, who has applied for naturalization in Zimbabwe, was brought into the world to Pakistani guardians in Belgium and plays for the Rhinos in Zimbabwe's homegrown circuit, averaging 73.42 in Rundown A cricket. In January this year, he scored up 300* in five star cricket, turning into the very first hitter to record a triple-century for any Zimbabwean group. Likewise getting back to the crew are Dion Myers, Guiltless Kaia and Milton Shumba. Clive Madande, Brian Bennett, Johnathan Campbell, Wellington Masakadza, Tadiwanashe Marumani and Faraz Akram have been held from the crew that took on Bangladesh in the T20I series in April. This will be the main task for recently selected lead trainer Justin Sammons, who took over from Dave Houghton, who surrendered after Zimbabwe neglected to meet all requirements for the T20 World Cup. The five-match series will be played in Harare and starts off on July 6.
