In a bid to fortify their T20 side, Zimbabwean all-rounder Sean Williams is set to make a comeback to the national squad for the upcoming three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, commencing on January 14th. Williams, a veteran presence in Zimbabwean cricket, had been sidelined due to injury and missed the recently concluded ODI series against Sri Lanka, where Zimbabwe faced a 2-0 defeat.

The decision to bring back Williams reflects Zimbabwe’s strategic move to strengthen their T20 lineup with the experienced all-rounder. Williams’ absence was notably felt during the ODI series, and his return is expected to inject vitality and balance into the team.

According to information from Zimbabwean journalist Brandon Moyo, Hamilton Mazakadza, the Director of Cricket for Zimbabwe, confirmed that Williams is set to join the squad in Sri Lanka. Mazakadza stated that Williams, who has been diligently recovering from his injury, is flying to Sri Lanka today to make himself available for the first T20I on the 14th of January.

The 37-year-old Sean Williams boasts an impressive T20I record, having scored 1661 runs and scalped 47 wickets in the format. His all-round capabilities make him a valuable asset for Zimbabwe, and his return is anticipated to add depth and experience to the team.
