Uncapped opener Kaitano and wicket keeper Madande are part of the 15-man squad

Craig Ervine will captain Zimbabwe for their three-game ODI series in Sri Lanka. The series is part of the World Cup Super League, with these three ODIs Zimbabwe’s first 50 games since a three-game streak against Ireland in September.

Ervine was given the responsibility of leading Zimbabwe again after serving as team captain for the limited tour of Ireland and Scotland in August-September last year.

The team sees opener Takudzwanashe Kaitano and wicket keeper Clive Madande included for the first time, while all-rounder Tino Mutombodzi returns to the national team. Experienced mid-order hitters Sikandar Raza and Sean Williams are also on the squad, as Zimbabwe returns to life without Brendan Taylor, who retired from international cricket in August.

All three games will take place on January 16, 18 and 21. The last time the two teams played in an ODI series, Zimbabwe surprised the hosts, winning the famous five-game series 3-2. It remains the only multi-game ODI series Zimbabwe has won in Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka’s last ODI series came against South Africa at home, with the hosts winning 2-1.

According to ZImbabwe Cricket, the team will leave for Sri Lanka on Saturday.

Zimbabwe team: Craig Ervine (capt), Ryan Burl, Regis Chakabva, Tendai Chatara, Luke Jongwe, Takudzwanashe Kaitano, Clive Madande, Wesly Madhevere, Wellington Masakadza, Tinotenda Mutombodzi, Blessing Muzarabani, Richard Ngarava, Seanandar Raza, Milton Shumba, Seanandar Raza, Milton Shumba,
