Ndlovu, Munyonga in Zimbabwe squad for first two ODIs against UAE

The uncapped duo of Ainsley Ndlovu and Tony Munyonga are in line to make their international bow after they made the cu in into a 16 man squad for the first two matches of the ODI series against UAE at Harare Sporst Club kicking off this Wednesday.

Peter Moor will lead the side in the absence of the injured Hamilton Masakadza, while Timycen Maruma and Regis Chakabva are back in the side following their lengthy absence from ODI cricket.
