Masakadza called up by Zimbabwe

Hamilton Masakadza was surprisingly included in Zimbabwe's 16-man squad for the first two one-day internationals against England, to be played at Harare Sports Club on November 26 and 28.

The last time Masakadza, 21, played a competitive match was in 2002, since when he has been in South Africa studying at university. In 2001 he became the then-youngest player to score a century on Test debut, against West Indies.

The rest of the selections were as expected, with recent one-day form being the main criterion.
