Zimbabwe Cricket has named fast bowler Richard Ngarava as the new captain for the Test and one-day international sides, with all-rounder Brian Bennett serving as his deputy. The appointments were finalized during a board meeting in Harare, replacing former skipper Craig Ervine, who stepped down after a rebuilding period. Board chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani stated Ngarava earned the role through his consistent performance and respect within the team, while Bennett’s selection reflects his potential as a future leader.

Ngarava, a left-arm pace bowler who debuted in twenty seventeen, is a key part of the national attack across all formats and holds the record for being the first Zimbabwean to claim a hundred T20 international wickets. Bennett, a young talent who previously led the Under-19 squad, has already scored centuries in both Test and ODI cricket since his senior debut. The board thanked outgoing captain Ervine for his professional leadership during a difficult phase for the team, framing the new appointments as part of a broader strategy to develop a competitive national program.
