Zimbabwe paceman Blessing Muzarabani ruled out of T20I tri-series in Pakistan

Newman Nyamhuri has been selected as a replacement in the 15-man squad that will be captained by Pakistan-born Sikandar Raza.

Zimbabwe will open their tri-series campaign against host nation Pakistan in Rawalpindi on 17 November, before facing Sri Lanka at the same venue on 19 November.

Raza's charges will then travel to Lahore for the remaining round-robin fixtures – meeting Pakistan again on 23 November and Sri Lanka on 25 November.

The top two teams on the points table will contest the final on 29 November in Lahore.

All three teams will use the tri-series as preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup that will be co-hosted by Sri Lanka and India early next year.

Zimbabwe T20I squad: Sikandar Raza (captain), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Graeme Cremer, Bradley Evans, Clive Madande, Tinotenda Maposa, Wellington Masakadza, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, Brendan Taylor
