ZIM vs BAN Only Test: Possible Playing 11 of Zimbabwe

ZIM Playing 11: Zimbabwe will face Bangladesh in the only Test to be played between these teams here at Harare. The last time these sides faced in a Test match was in 2020 in Bangladesh. Bangladesh thrashed Zimbabwe by an innings and 106 runs. But since the match is in Zimbabwe this time, expect Bangladesh to get a tough fight here. In 17 Tests played between these teams, both have won 7 matches each while 3 matches have ended in a draw. Bangladesh are 9th while Zimbabwe are 10th in the ICC Test Rankings.

ZIM Playing 11 (likely)

Kevin Kasuza
Takudzwanashe Kaitano
Milton Shumba
Brendan Taylor (C)
Dion Myers
Roy Kaia
Regis Chakabva (wk)
Luke Jongwe
Blessing Muzarabani
Tendai Chatara
Richard Ngarava

With senior players like Ervine and captain Sean Williams unavailable, the onus will be on stand-in captain Brendan Taylor to lead the team from the front. Dion Myers was impressive in the series against South Africa A and he could be in line for a debut here. The hosts are likely to play four fast bowlers. Muzarabani will be the biggest threat for Bangladesh as he can trouble them with his pace and height.
