Raza acknowledged the need to address issues at the top of the batting order

Following a 4-1 loss in the T20I series against India, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza acknowledged the need to address issues at the top of the batting order and improve their attitude on the field. Despite winning the opening match, Zimbabwe struggled to maintain their advantage throughout the series. Raza praised Blessing Muzarabani's bowling performance but highlighted the team's below-par batting and the need to work on their on-field mistakes. Looking ahead to future matches, Raza emphasised the importance of continuous improvement and hard work.

In the recent game, Muzarabani and Ngarava impressed with their bowling, much to Raza's satisfaction. However, he expressed regret over Ngarava's initial unavailability due to injury. Zimbabwe is scheduled to play a one-off Test match against Ireland, but Raza may not participate due to his lack of recent red-ball cricket practice. He stressed the need to manage his workload and focus on regaining full fitness before committing to Test cricket. Raza plans to return to domestic cricket to assess his form and readiness for longer formats of the game. Despite his current limitations, Raza looks forward to participating in The Hundred tournament in Manchester in the near future.
