Wicketkeeper Chiedza Dhururu and 19-year-old legspinner Olinder Chare are back in Zimbabwe's squads for the women's ODI and T20I series against West Indies at home. From the squad that played against South Africa, Lorraine Pemhiwa and Lindokuhle Mabhera have been left out and Loreen Tshuma is injured.
Dhururu, a top-order bat, last played on the tour of New Zealand earlier this year while Chare made her T20I debut on the tour of Pakistan in May.
Right-arm quick Kudzai Chigora, 20, has been selected for only the ODI series, which will be part of the ICC Women's Championship, while seamer Francisca Chipare will be part of only the T20I series.
Josephine Nkomo will lead the 16-member contingent. She played only two T20Is against South Africa, which was her first series after being named full-time captain following Mary-Anne Musonda's retirement.
Zimbabwe and West Indies will play three ODIs at Harare Sports Club on September 24, 27 and 30 before moving to Takashinga Cricket Club for the T20Is on October 3, 5 and 7. This series continues what has been a busy period for Zimbabwe, who are playing the Women's Championship for the first time. They toured New Zealand and Pakistan earlier in the year before playing South Africa at home. Next month, they will tour India for the first time.
