District Correspondent, Sylhet: With the Sylhet Test ahead, the visiting Zimbabwe team has arrived in Bangladesh with a full-strength squad. On Wednesday, the team headed straight to their hotel from Sylhet Airport, where the players appeared quite enthusiastic.
Although the team was scheduled to practice on Thursday, rain in the city of Sylhet caused a slight delay. After an hour of practice, rain interrupted again.
However, during practice, the determination to win was evident in the faces of Craig Ervine (captain), Brian Bennett, and Sean Williams. Zimbabwe lost their last Test against host Bangladesh by an innings and 106 runs. This time, the African team is desperate to avenge that defeat.
The return of experienced all-rounder Sean Williams and captain Craig Ervine from injuries provides an added advantage for the visitors. Alongside them, left-arm spinner Wellington Masakadza has been included in the squad, replacing young pacer Newman Nymur.
With a 15-member squad in hand, can Zimbabwe take revenge for their last defeat during this Bangladesh tour? The answer will remain uncertain until the match concludes.
