Brother Of Star England Cricketer Set To play Zimbabwe

Ben Curran is set to play for Zimbabwe unlike his brothers Sam & Tom Curran who represent England at the International level. Ben Curran, son of former Zimbabwean cricketer Kevin Curran has earned a callup into the Zimbabwe side after his great performances at the domestic level.

Along with Ben Curran, Zimbabwe has also called up Newman Nyamburi, an 18-year-old who represented Zimbabwe in the U-19 World Cup. Nyamburi made an impression in the World Cup by becoming the highest wicket-taker for Zimbabwe.

Unlike Ben, Nyamburi has been called up for both ODI's & T20Is in place of Faraz Akram, Brandon Mavuta & Clive Madande, who is out due to a shoulder dislocation. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad remains the same that took on Pakistan last month in the ODI series. Zimbabwe however, lost the ODI & T20I series but, they still managed to win an ODI & a T20I against the Pakistani side.

In the T20I setup, there are only two additions in Nymaburi & Tadiwanashe Kaitano who come in place of Brandon Mavuta & Clive Madande. The Zimbabwe-Afghanistan series kicks off with 3 T20Is from Harare from December 11th to 14th. The ODI series will be followed by the T20I series at the same venue.

T20I squad: Sikandar Raza (c), Faraz Akram, Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Trevor Gwandu, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Wessly Madhevere, Tinotenda Maposa, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Tashinga Musekiwa, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri
