Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine was ruled out of the two-match One-Day International series against Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe Cricket announced on Friday.
“An MRI scan conducted on Thursday confirmed that Ervine suffered a Grade II strain in his left calf as well as a chronic and resolving Grade I strain in his right calf,” the board said in a statement.
Sean Williams will lead the side in Ervine’s absence.
The first ODI will be played on Friday and the second on Sunday. Both games will be held at the Harare Sports Club.
Sri Lanka also plays a three-match T20I series from September 3 to 9 as it gears up for the Asia Cup 2025.
