Zimbabwe Announce New Captaincy Structure for National Teams Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has finalized its leadership structure for the senior men's and women's national teams, appointing Richard Ngarava as captain for Test and One Day International (ODI) matches while Josephine Nkomo will lead the women's team. Sikandar Raza will continue as captain of the T20I side, maintaining his role as the shortest-format leader. The changes mark a strategic shift for the national teams, with the men's side aiming to build on recent international progress and the women's team set to compete in its first-ever ICC Women's Championship campaign. Ngarava, who took charge of the men's team for the first time in a recent one-off Test against Bangladesh at Harare Sports Club, will oversee the red and white-ball formats. His appointment follows his successful leadership in that match, which highlighted his ability to guide the team in longer formats. Raza, an experienced all-rounder, remains the T20I captain, having established himself as a key figure in the squad's leadership hierarchy. Brian Bennett has been named Test vice-captain, while Raza will serve as ODI vice-captain. Ngarava will also act as T20I vice-captain, ensuring continuity in leadership across all formats. For the women's team, Josephine Nkomo, an experienced all-rounder, has been confirmed as captain. Her deputy will be left-arm seamer Nomvelo Sibanda, who will support her in leading the squad through the ICC Women's Championship. The reshuffle comes at a pivotal moment for Zimbabwe cricket, with the women's team entering a new era of international competition and the men's side seeking to capitalize on recent successes.#sikandar_razza #zimbabwe_cricket #richard_ngarava #josephine_nkomo #tavengwa_mukuhlani
