Vusi Sibanda has replaced the injured Sean Williams in the Zimbabwe squad for the World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed through a media release on Saturday.
The confirmation was conveyed to Zimbabwe Cricket on behalf of the ICC event technical committee. Sibanda comes in for Williams who fractured his right thumb while training on Thursday ahead of his side’s match against New Zealand at Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Sibanda, a right-handed batsman from Harare, has played in 85 One-day Internationals (ODI) in which he has scored 1,796 runs at an average of little under 22.
Williams is the 12th player to be replaced in the tournament after compatriots Edward Rainsford, Tinotenda Mawoyo and Sean Ervine, West Indies’s Dwayne Bravo, Adrian Barath and Carlton Baugh, Australia’s Nathan Hauritz and Michael Hussey, India’s Praveen Kumar, England’s Eoin Morgan and Pakistan’s Sohail Tanvir were earlier replaced.
