Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza has secured a deal with MI London in The Hundred, joining the franchise as a temporary overseas replacement for Afghanistan star Rashid Khan. Rashid has left the squad to represent Afghanistan in their white-ball series against Ireland, creating an opportunity for the experienced Zimbabwean all-rounder.
MI London confirmed the signing on its official social media channels, welcoming Raza to the squad for the remainder of his availability. The move adds another chapter to Raza’s busy franchise cricket calendar and highlights his growing reputation as one of Zimbabwe’s most sought-after T20 players.
Raza arrives in London after a productive stint with Worcestershire in the Vitality Blast, where he scored 258 runs and claimed nine wickets in nine matches. His all-round ability and vast experience are expected to strengthen MI London’s bid to remain among the leading contenders in this year’s Hundred competition.
For Zimbabwe cricket, the signing is another significant milestone, with Raza continuing to earn opportunities in top global T20 leagues. His addition gives MI London a proven match-winner capable of contributing with both bat and ball during a crucial stage of the tournament.
