Zimbabwe Cricket confirms appointments for its men’s national teams across formats. Richard Ngarava is named captain for Zimbabwe’s Test and One-Day International (ODI) sides. The decision also keeps Sikandar Raza in charge of the team’s Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), with Zimbabwe Cricket stating that he is retained as T20I skipper. Reporting on the change indicates Ngarava replaces Craig Ervine for the longer formats, following Ervine’s decision to step down to support a rebuilding phase. Sources add that Ngarava’s leadership appointment follows his captaincy debut during a one-off Test against Bangladesh and that he had already been involved in ODI matches where Zimbabwe recorded positive results. In the T20I format, Raza continues as captain. Separate from the men’s appointments, Zimbabwe Cricket also names Josephine Nkomo as captain of the Zimbabwe women’s team, according to coverage referencing a board statement. The updates are presented as part of Zimbabwe Cricket’s confirmed future captaincy structure across all formats.
