Craig Ervine will lead the ODI squad, which blends experienced players like Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams with promising newcomers Trevor Gwandu, Tashinga Musekiwa, and Tinotenda Maposa.
Zimbabwe's Convener of Selectors, David Mutendera, commented, “The series against Pakistan is an important platform for Zimbabwe, and we believe the ODI squad we have selected is well-rounded.
“The presence of seasoned players like Craig, Sikandar, and Sean provides stability, while young players like Clive Madande, Brian Bennett, Dion Myers, and the uncapped trio bring energy and the potential for game-changing moments.”
The T20I squad retains the team that achieved success in Kenya's ICC Men's T20 World Cup Sub-Regional Qualifier. Captain Sikandar Raza will lead this squad, which will build on its recent momentum and cohesion.
“We felt it was essential to maintain the same T20I squad that excelled in Kenya. This continuity allows the team to build on the cohesion and confidence that drove their outstanding performance,” Mutendera explained.
Mutendera added: “Facing a high-calibre side like Pakistan is a tremendous opportunity for us to gauge our progress and showcase Zimbabwe’s potential on the international stage. We are confident that both our ODI and T20I squads will be competitive.”
