New Zealand Cricket has announced a 15-man Test squad for their upcoming two-match series against Zimbabwe scheduled for later this month. Tom Latham will captain the side in the absence of former captain Kane Williamson, who has opted out to manage his playing commitments. The squad features a comeback for Henry Nicholls and includes two uncapped fast bowlers. Several key players remain unavailable for selection, prompting the inclusion of a new pacer making his first call-up. The series marks New Zealand's tour to Zimbabwe for the Test matches.
