Josephine Nkomo returns to captain Zimbabwe for South Africa T20I series

Josephine Nkomo is set to return as captain for the Zimbabwe cricket team in the upcoming T20I series against South Africa. Her return marks her first time leading the squad in an official capacity since her appointment. Nkomo was previously sidelined by an injury, which forced her to miss the recent white-ball tour of Pakistan. That tour proceeded without her leadership due to the fitness concerns that followed her initial naming as captain. The Zimbabwe Cricket board confirmed her availability for the matches against South Africa as the team prepares for the series. Her presence is expected to stabilize the leadership group as the team shifts focus to the upcoming T20I engagements.
