Captain Mary-Anne Musonda and three other senior players who missed Zimbabwe Women’s last series have bounced back to face Thailand Women in a limited-overs tour that gets underway in Harare tomorrow.
The four were named in the home side’s 17-member squad announced on the eve of the first of four one-day matches that will be played at Takashinga Cricket Club.
Musonda, who missed Zimbabwe Women’s home series against a South Africa Emerging Women side in May after undergoing surgery on a knee injury, has fully recuperated to lead the team again.
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano and Nomatter Mutasa-Ziyambi are back from maternity leave to face Thailand, while Ashley Ndiraya has recovered from a broken finger that sidelined her last time.
With Josephine Nkomo, Precious Marange, Modester Mupachikwa, Christabel Chatonzwa, Nomvelo Sibanda, Esther Mbofana and Tasmeen Granger in the squad, Zimbabwe Women are at almost full strength as they take on Thailand Women in the series which both teams are using as part of their preparations for ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournaments.
After Wednesday’s match, the two sides will meet in the other three one-dayers scheduled for 20, 22 and 24 August, before they face off in the T20Is set for 27, 29 and 30 August.
