Zimbabwe have named their provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup, which will be trimmed to 15 by the February 15 deadline.

When the final squad is announced Prosper Utseya, the offspinner, is expected to be named captain and will rely heavily on players with a modicum of one-day international experience including Gary Brent, Brendan Taylor, Mluleki Nkala and Charles Coventry.

Many of the players have very limited exposure at the top level and Zimbabwe are not expected to put up much resistance at the tournament in West Indies. They are in Group D for the qualifying section alongside West Indies, Pakistan and Ireland so will have to pull off an upset to move into the Super Eights.

Squad Prosper Utseya, Gary Brent, Chamunorwa Chibhabha, Elton Chigumbura, Tendai Chisoro, Charles Coventry, Graeme Cremer, Keith Dabengwa, Terrence Duffin, Trevor Garwe, Ryan Higgins, Tinashe Hove, Anthony Ireland, Tafadzwa Kamungozi, Friday Kasteni, Blessing Mahwire, Timycen Maruma, Hamilton Masakadza, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Tinotenda Mawoyo, Christopher Mpofu, Tafadzwa Mufambisi, Tawanda Mupariwa, Mluleki Nkala, Edward Rainsford, Piet Rinke, Vusumuzi Sibanda, Gregory Strydom, Brendan Taylor, Sean Williams.
