Veteran Cremer Makes Zimbabwe’s T20 World Cup Squad After Seven-Year Hiatus

HARARE – Veteran legspinner Graeme Cremer, 39, has secured a spot in Zimbabwe’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, marking a remarkable return to international cricket after a seven-year absence. Cremer impressed selectors after returning to Zimbabwe last year and performing well in domestic competitions. His comeback culminated in a recall for the home series against Afghanistan and appearances in the T20I tri-series in Pakistan. He will now be a key spin option alongside Wellington Masakadza and captain Sikandar Raza.

Cremer isn’t the only seasoned player in the squad. Batsman Brendan Taylor, who will turn 40 on the eve of the tournament, has also been selected, demonstrating the selectors’ faith in experience.

Blessing Muzarabani, the team’s pace spearhead, has recovered from injury and will lead the bowling attack, supported by Richard Ngarava, Bradley Evans, and Tinotenda Maposa.

Zimbabwe, who failed to qualify for the 2024 edition, find themselves in Group B alongside Australia, Ireland, Oman, and co-hosts Sri Lanka. Their campaign begins against Oman on February 9th, with all their group matches to be played in Sri Lanka.
