Zimbabwe Squad for England

Zimbabwe have named their touring squads to travel to England, with the main surprise being the nomination of 19-year-old wicketkeeper Tatenda Taibu as vice-captain.

Taibu has impressed with his maturity with bat and gloves as well as his performances over the past 12 months. He has captained his country at many under-age tournaments and looks set to become their next leader.

Former captain Stuart Carlisle's international exile, meanwhile, is over following his recall to both the Test and ODI squads following an impressive Logan Cup campaign.

The only uncapped player in the squad is Vusimuzi Sibanda.

The Squads are:
Test:
Heath Streak (c)
Tatenda Taibu (v/c)
